A big shout out to all the staff at Coco La Palm. I was really looking forward to staying at your resort, and you really came through for me. The staff is excellent, with great service. Everyone was hospitable and friendly. Genuine smiles! My room was spacious and very clean. The gardens were simply beautiful! From the staff at the front desk to the restaurants, to the housekeepers, to the grounds keepers! Thank you so much for making my vacation twice as great as I had hoped. Thank you!

We have been going to CocoLaPalm yearly for over 15 years and LOVE it! All members of the Coco team are amazing. We love the pools, hot tub, beach, even our rooms. Steve, Jermaine, and Gibson take excellent care of our particular beach needs. Erica takes excellent care of our room and leaves welcome home notes with flowers. Vernon is the best bartender around hands down. Shirley and Donna provide fantastic breakfast service with a smile. Michelle, Andre, and Charles are amazing at the grill. The grounds always look amazing thanks to Junior and Shelton. Kimesha does such a nice job of putting on the events and having fun with the guests. I truly enjoy my home away from home, but have one request of anyone that reads this post: Please TIP these people, they go above and beyond.

I had heard there’ more construction coming soon and wanted to put in a word about the possibility of a fitness room? We have plenty of beach wot walk so a treadmill isn’ needed but some free weights would be reasonable cheap & terrific!

Cocolapalm has the best staff one can ask for from the reservations staff, front desk, housekeepers, restaurant, maintenance, groundskeepers, restaurant staff, more importantly the beach staff who interact with the guests daily and provide stellar customer service. So happy to see the menu much improved. Please take a moment to thank your amazing staff as your staff is what makes guests like myself ” wanting to come back for more”. Special thanks to the following Coco employees, Miss Esna, Miss Andrea, Miss Shakes, Miss B, Donna, Shirley, Juicy, Gibson, Steve, Jermaine, Evron. The stellar customer service is what makes Coco a very special quaint resort.

Jenison, Michigan USA – 30 January 2017
What a wonderful place to spend our holidays. We came home after ten great days at Coco La Palm. Super clean, nice garden area. Really good food at normal prices. The beach is just fantastic and we loved to walk along during day and night (it is safe, we never had any problem). The sea was so clear and there were enough sunbeds for all guests. The staff is friendly and helpful all the time. There are a lot of restaurants and bars along the beach or the road where you can eat and drink. We love this place and hope to be back one day!!! #onelove

William T.
Lakeland, Mn Usa – 20 December 2016
I love this place. Super clean, magnificent little garden pool with a butterflies alley. Food excellent, prices like at home. Strolling on the beach at night is safe. Plenty of other hotels and restos on the beach to choose from.
Smokey Joe Jerk chicken definitively the best, is located midway between Coco La Palm and Time Square. This is a 10 minute walk. Smokey can as well organize custom tours for you by car o boat. You’ get in touch then with the real Jamaica.

I love checking in on Coco with the webcams and like that one camera is on the new dining room renovation. BUT I do miss seeing the whole beach, north and south, as now the beach camera is pointed pretty much straight down. Been home about a month now from Coco and planning for next year already! Love all the renovations you have done over the past couple of years.

Love Love CocolaPalm! Great Staff, Great Atmosphere, Clean Accommodations and Great Food. I was there with my 2 grandsons (12 & 8) during 2015 summer and they had a ball. The staff knew them by their names and most of all they were Safe. Charles, the bartender was just terrific! He was professional, polite, friendly, pleasant with a great smile. Now I’ heading back to Jamaica next month and I will not consider staying any where else. CocolaPalm -You Rock!!!!!

R & R
Ft Worth, Texas USA – 13 August 2015
We stayed the last 10 days in July. Had the best vacation ever! A morning swim, sightseeing in the afternoon and dinner at CocoLaPalm watching the sunset every evening, became our daily routine. We had a deluxe room in the older section. Loved our large room and flower filled patio. Every night we were serenaded to sleep by the chirping crickets. The resort is georgeous and is kept immaculate by the busy friendly staff. Our housekeeper even decorated our towels with flowers one day! The bar and restaraunt servers are equally great- I wish I could remember all their names so I could say thanks here! So many went above and beyond in making sure we were enjoying our stay. Coco’ wood carver makes some amazing pieces. We bought a cedar turtle table that was created by the artist on the beach- we watched as it evolved over a couple of days. I think of Jamaica and CocoLaPalm every time I look at it. ………….Sigh…….I can’ wait to come back!

Flourtown, PA USA – 26 July 2014
It was our pleasure staying at your unique resort for one night and wish we had more time. It was a great change for the much larger resorts.
Your staff was attentive, pleasant and professional and most importantly honest. Upon check-out my daughter left her cell phone and a pouch in the lobby. We were about 10 minutes away, in the taxi, on our way to the airport, when our driver received a call from the front desk, saying they found the phone . We returned to retrieve it but didn’ have enough time to get the names of the ladies that were there that morning .I would like to take this opportunity to thank them so much for their kindness and honesty. I have already shared my story to many friends and have recommended your resort.We will definitely be returning in the near future.Not to forget the chef, breakfast was delightful. Many thanks for a pleasant stay.

I just spent my 9th stay at Coco LaPalm for my 13th trip to Negril. I LOVE Coco LaPalm! The staff are all wonderful- each and every one of them. Being a regular guest here they make you feel like family when you return. I’ converted friends and family alike and made them in to repeat Coco guests. I’ also met other repeat guests and we all agree that Coco is the best. It’ a like a big family reunion. I’ already booked for my 14th trip and guess where I’ staying?! COCO! And I’ bringing a newbie and a couple repeaters. Can’ wait to see you all in December!

Fitchburg, Wisconsin usa – 15 May 2014
Just spent our fourteenth trip at CocoLaPalm. Not even off the plane yet and missing all my good friends. This is by far the best place to stay in Negril. Service and hospitality are impeccable. I cannot say enough good things about this resort. The grounds are immaculate even though a restoration is happening. Can’ wait to see the new beachfront rooms. Special thanks to Donovan, the groundskeeper. He helps us in so many ways. Donna and Shirley always have my special iced tea waiting. Michelle never fusses at me for forgetting to close out my tab. Gillian is so pleasant and an excellent cook. Carlene, Opal, Esna, Miss B, Joanie, all very special and accomadating even when I gave Miss B a one day notice to throw a big party. Had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful owners, Judy and John. They were super nice people and so down to earth. They certainly have a great staff that respects them and understandably why. Nothing to say but great things and can’ wait to be back for trip number 15. One love and God bless you all for making our vacation wonderful!

This was our 5th year in a row to Coco La Palm, and once again, it was fantastic. We want to give a special thanks to all of the staff who make our stays so wonderful and relaxing. We brought a couple with us for their first time in Jamaica. They said this was one of the most relaxing vacations they have ever taken.
We hope to come back again next year!

After reading all the rave reviews, I had very high expectations for my first trip to Negril and CCLP. Let me tell you, all of my expectations were met and exceeded! My boyfriend and I just returned home from our vacation there for my birthday, and it was amazing. Easily the best vacation I’ ever taken. Loved the staff, the vibe, and Negril itself… couldn’ have been more perfect. Oh, and don’ skip out on a massage… Miss Joan made me melt!

I just want to say thank you to all the staff at coco la palm for making my birthday one I will never forget. My boyfriend surprised me with a birthday party and the staff was unbelievable. The food was to die for and the setting was just the perfect ambiance. It was held right by the pool and we had red as our color theme, good music was played throughout the night… Special thank you to mr. Drummond the executive chef, for making the food so special. From the cocktail hour to the actual dinner, u could tell he put his heart and soul into making everything perfect. If your ever there please ask for the plantain wrapped in bacon. My party was held on October 14. I must say as well the property is well kept. Thank you CocoLaPalm for making my party so memorable. Thumbs up to your kind and wonderful staff.

Stayed with my daughter and son in law July 25-Aug 2, 2012 and loved every minute. They are considered “”, because it was their 3rd stay in under a year at CCLP! Most of CCLP’ staff were genuinely happy to serve me. Everything was CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! But not thrilled about using unisex RR at bar. My single room was HUGE, comfortable, freezing cold AC that kept up with outside temps in upper 90s. Beach was GORGEOUS, well maintained, never problem getting our 3 chairs lined up together exactly where we wanted to be. CCLP Security was AWESOME. Clint, the young man serving breakfast was one of many highlights of my everyday. Beautiful smile and personality to match, excellent worker. As was Donovon in the bar who especially works his butt off during happy hour! Loved Patrice in the office, we had a great laugh about what she thought was one earring in my ear, but was really my lone braid I had done with Jamaica National Color beads hanging off! Clayton/driver/security entertaining, well versed, professional! Donovan Gooden polite quick to help when I needed food cleaned off my patio, assumably dragged there overnight by one of the local kitties. LOL. CCLP’ Jerk chicken, dipping sauce, pizza, rice & peas, OUT OF THIS WORLD! Manager’ Special Monday nite totally exceeded expectations! THANKS COCOLAPALM! I’ be back!Sincerely, Lesly U

I’ been to Jamaica 9 times and my last 5 times have been to Coco LaPalm. I love this place. The resort is centrally located on the beach, which makes it easy to go up or down to whatever I might be interested in. What really keeps me coming back is the people that work at CocoLaPalm. They are all so wonderfully helpful and friendly and now feel like family. I’ brought 2 new people to CocoLaPalm my last 2 trips to Jamaica and they’ both said they want to return and when can I get that set up! 🙂 I’ just back from a trip and already trying to schedule a group trip back to introduce more friends to my extended family!

I have been going to JAH since 1976. Been all over the island I have been going to negril every year. Since 1988 I was staying at another hotel thinking it was the only place to go and stay in negril boy was I wrong cclp is the most freindly and comfy feeling everybody there has a smile from ear to ear. The food is great not like most hotels. Again I have stayed at alot of properties and cclp is by fair the best place on the beach. I do have to single out 2 employees CARLENE and STEVE some of the best people on the Island and the rest of the staff was very pleasant. I will go back every year from now on to COCO LAPALM Thanks everybody at cclp see you soon

I just wanted to say ” You” to everyone on staff at Coco La Palm for making our stay in Negril so incredible. From the front desk, to security, to bar staff to housekeeping. Everyone seemed to just go out of their way to make us feel at home. There is something very special about Negril and something really incredible about the staff at Coco La Palm. We now understand why there are so many return guests. It was our first stay but, it will not be the last.
I left on our last day with a very heavy heart and have thought non stop about the many wonderful people we met and the experiences we had.
It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we were there for Mother’ Day as well. I couldn’ be any happier with our experience at Coco La Palm.
Heartfelt thanks to one and all. Visited May 08 to May 17 2012

Carrie and I would like to thank CocoLaPalm all of the staff for making our stay and Wedding so special! From initial e-mails with Carlene, the PERFECT wedding planned and executed by Ms.B, and Clive for being the perfect white glove waiter on our special beach dinner. Our room had amazing views of the beach. We walked up and down the entire 7 Mile Beach (plus stayed another week at another resort) and we can easily say that Coco’ is by far the best!
From Joan’ jerk chicken & pork at the beach side grill, Clint’ wit in the restaurant, and SO many more great people to mention, it’ certain that we will be back to celebrate our anniversary at this pituresque friendly resort!
THANK YOU once again!

Just returned from Negril – CocoLaPalm last night. Wow, what a beautiful resort. The room was so nice, the people are beyond friendly and the food was very good. The beach is the nicest in the area, very wide, Lots of loungers, lots of shade if you want it and close to the beach bar and restaruant. A big shout out to Donovan, the bartender. What a great guy. We hit lots of bars on the beach and Donavan is the best. Already planning another trip next year and will definately stay here again,

This was our first visit to Jamaica. We absolutley loved Coco la Palm. The staff very friendly and our room and the grounds just great. We were there from Jan 14-Jan.25th,2012 and had only a couple hours of cloud and maybe 1 hour of rain. Seven mile beach is perfect to walk or stroll. We didn’ even wear shoes for 3 days!This is first time we went European plan instead of all inclusive and because there is so many choices along the beach we were happy we could try different places to eat. Thank-you Coco la Palm staff for making our holiday so memorable. George & Laurie

We stayed at Coco La Palm for the first time in October 2011. I have to say, out of all the places we have been in the islands, all the inclusives and just regular hotels, nothing has been as comfortable, clean, relaxing, convenient and fun in one place as CCLP. We will be back and hope to get our tshirts on our next visit. Esna and the staff are friendly and willing to help in anyway they can. This place is convenient to all places along 7 mile beach. Their beach area is cleaned every morning – no seaweed or anything.

Vinita, Oklahoma USA – 30 October 2011
We have been coming to JA for years, but had never been to Negril. So after researching online, the reviews of CLP sounded like it was exactly what we wanted. And we were right! The beach was gorgeous, everyone on staff was smiley and friendly and helpful, the room was surprisingly spacious and airy, both dinners we had were delicious (pork chops, lamb, beef), both breakfasts were fresh and yummy, the complimentary monday night happy hour (complete with mento band, open bar, and snacks) was a lot of fun, and the one lunch we had by the beach was perfect. The pools were pristine, as were the entire grounds. We just wish we had spent more than 2 days in Negril. Next time we head to W. Jamaica, we are definitely going to stay at CLP again!

I think this was the huge difference to enjoying my holiday.
To Opal and all the ladies at the front desk for all their help with a few queries I had and Mr Richard for always having a smile on his face and time for conversation. And to all the other staff that I encountered that were all so friendly. It’ little things like this that make the big difference.
I look forward to returning one day soon.
Take care

Just returned home yesterday from a one week stay at CocoLaPalm and I don’ know what else to say except Wow! Everything was amazing and this was apparent immediately at check in. The ladies at the front desk were so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. The bar staff, restaurant staff and security-all so nice! The room was a junior queen suite, and was beautiful! The grounds, gardens and pools are gorgeous, this is the first hotel I’ stayed at where the pool temperature was just perfect and didn’ leave me shivering after a few minutes. The beach is incredible and to our pleasant surprise, we found the stretch in front of Coco to be the nicest and widest along the whole beach. I could go on forever, so let me just say it was an amazing stay, thank you CocoLaPalm. And my boyfriend and I will be back for sure: We know this is the place we want to be married at. Til then, were spreading the word to our friends back home. See you soon Coco!

We just got back from vacation from Jamaica. We stayed in Cocola Palm resort for 5 days 4 night; The stay was nothing but awesome. The staffs were very nice. The beach was simply awesome with little to no disturbance from the local vendors. A security and life guard was there all time making the beach time more peaceful. The only problem we had was with the food; being vegetarian it was little tough to manage, but I wouldn’ complain.

Vernon made us a special drink called ” Verneeni” make sure and ask for one.
Thanks Carlene, Richard, Chester, Vernon, Mrs. B,O’, Shirley, Donna,Kedora, Michelle and Carol for making our 8th stay as wonderful as the first. See ya at Halloween everyone. We couldn’ go anywhere else.

My husband and I just returned from our stay at Coco La Palm. It was the best week of our life. The hotel is situated right on 7 mile beach, which is just beautiful! The staff is helpful, pleasant,and makes you feel welcomed. The rooms are nice and roomy. Each day our room was cleaned so well that you almost hated to track in the sand…again. We spend each morning at the hotel’ restaurant for breakfast because the food was delicious and the view amazing. Not only did we get food, awesome service,but we felt very safe at all times. This was our first trip to Jamaica, and we are pleased that we chose to stay at Coco! Keep up the super job Coco La Palm!

WINNIPEG, Province: MB Canada – 28 April 2011
Oh where do I start!!!! 🙂
Beginning with the excellent service at every meal and the phenomenal house keeping leaving your room spotless. Everyone who works there is just so considerate and they do everything possible just to make sure you are happy every second you are staying there. The rooms were what I expected and even more. They were clean and they were just an enjoyment to stay in. They have fresh towels in the shape of swans or hearts every day. The rooms come equipped with air conditioner, shampoos and soaps, a TV, and most importantly hot water. Also, the views are great!!!! You can look out your window or go out on your balcony and see the gorgeous sun setting beyond the ocean. The pool and jacuzzi are fantastic and are never too busy. Then you can go out to the beach and stay in your own chairs and the lifeguards will give you fresh towels. The placing is just right for Coco la Palm because you can relax all day and just chill but at night if you want a little excitement you can take a quick shuttle to the hustle and bustle of the town center in Negril. The whole time I just preferred going to the restaurant of Coco la Palm’ right on the beach. They have to die for food and quick service. I never once had to wait for them to take my order and the food came before you could say, ” la Palm is the best.” You really feel like the queen or king of royalty because they do everything in their power to please you. If you want a switch in sides then consider it done. I suppose this is going to take a long time to read all these superb things about Coco la Palm so I better stop even though there are much much more. As soon as you walk under the arch into the front office you already feel like you are welcome. I couldn’ say enough good things about Coco la Palm because i think I would run out of lines. What can I say, whenever you go to Jamaica don’ even think about going anywhere else it’ obvious that you should just go to Coco la Palm. I was so excited about it especially for it being my first time there. I didn’ know what to expect but in the end lets just say I was so sad to leave. Good job members at Coco la Palm you did great!!!!! Thank you so much for making this the best vacation i’ ever taken! FROM, HALEY 🙂

We stayed for 10 days the end of Jan into Feb 2011, what a great resort,all employees’ were so friendly and the breakfast and beachbar foods were all very good, happy hour from 5 to 7 was always a highlight of the day for gathering with all the other guests we met. The beach is great here and very wide compared to the neighbors and the security guy on the beach was very professional in keeping vendors away if you were not interested in them. All said and done we will be back again, I have made ten trips to Negril and this is our favorite spot to be!

This was our first trip to Jamaica and we were glad we chose your CocoLaPalm in Negril. Our stay was very pleasant. The beach was wonderful, the food was good, the hotel was comfortable and we felt safe. The security guard was awesome and kept the riff raff off the beach. The gardener was awesome and he worked very hard. The grounds were very well maintained. The office staff were very pleasant and helpful. We will be back. We truly had a great time.

Seeing all of the same happy faces working at Coco is what makes it such a special place to be. I had a wonderful trip and look forward to returning. I would like to give a special thanks to Oneil, Clive, and Shirley(Marleys), Michelle (beach bar), Chester (front), and Donovan (craft stand). All of you put the extra effort forward with all of the guests and it shows every year, the resort wouldn’ be the same without all of you.

We stayed at Coco from December 9th to Dec 18th. My wife and two girls came and we had a great time and will return. The girls (ages 8 and 12) enjoyed the pool and beach a lot. We found a great restaurant down the street where we ate most our suppers. Breakfast at Coco was the best. Could not get enough of the Jamaican breakfast and the fresh banana bread. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a great time at Coco and, like I said, we will return in the near future. Thanks Coco la Palm!!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Coco LaPalm. Went XMAS week. The beach was fantastic, the breakfasts delicious, the pools wonderful. Special thanks to Doverlin for arranging our stay, to Erica who maintained our room beautifully and to the grill staff who have an unbelievably busy job keeping everyone happy and hydrated! Happy New Years to all! We hope to visit again!

Carlene and Mr Blair organised the best party on the beach of the resort, Good food (lovely birthday cake, Good entertainment and good service. Our family and friends that stayed at the resort were very well looked after and made to feel special and feel at home. A big thank you to the staff for making my husbands 60th memorable, See you all soon. Keith and Alice B. UK

We stayed at Coco in March and had such a nice time that we returned in November. The staff are wonderful! We stayed in a Junior King suite and loved it! It was spacious and we had a view of the ocean. The balcony was nice, too. We enjoyed the yummy food, especially the wonderful breakfasts and jerk chicken. Staff went out of their way to make our stay so pleasant. And we felt totally safe with security around the clock. The grounds are well-kept–lush and beautiful! Thank you, staff at Coco for making our stay a memorable one!

We wanted to send to you an email to let you know what a terrific vacation we just had and mostly due to our stay at COCO La Palm. We had been to Jamaica prior to Ocho Rios and Montego Bay and did not like it at all. Negril was amazing, the locals are so kind, so nice, we were expecting an okay property from COCO Lapalm not ever being there and were delighted but the beautiful maintained property and lush landscaping. We liked the raked beach and even the guard picking up the falled dead leaves daily. Your front staff ladies are a delight, so nice, kind, smiling and overall a pleasure to deal with for cabs and restaurant reservations. Your waitstaff is trained well, my husband is is in the food business and noticed how they hold themselves and put one arm behind their backs, little things that make them stand out better.
The rooms were large and the pool never busy. It was nice to tell others where we were staying and they said it looked nicely kept. We did venture out from the resort every day. We WALKED from it to the cliffs, to Catch a Falling Star, yes walked it was a long and hot walk, but felt safe and no one bothered us. Negrill gave us a nice sence of pride in all they do, we met locals that showed us how to play dominos, where the best jerk food is, Best of the West. We met Niah and he made us fresh patties and cooked lobster only 1 hour old. The cab drivers were kind and watched out for us and got us safely in and out of the resort nightly and your front gate staff checked us in and out making us feel better that they were aware of us and our travels. We were also introduced to the sorrell drink that is made locally and how it is made and someone made us some and that was nice to try.
Only a few helpful suggestions since I am a Director of Property Management to 2,000,000 square feet of tenant spaces. I would make a corral or area contained for the recycable bottles that just lay piled up next to the trash cans for pick up, it would look better. Also can you install sheer curtains especially on the lower units so you can keep the windows open and the light flowing in but no one can see through the sheer curtains. The lined curtains are fine at night, but far too dark they make the room during the day hours.
We will again return to Negril for sure and to none other than COCO La Palm. Please share this with all. We have done all the excursions when we stayed on the other areas of Jamaica and for now we will simply let many know to go, rest, enjoy and stay at your resort.
Thank you all for a terrific time. Renee and Michael F – USA, Pennsylvania

Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada – 18 October 2010
I had an absolutely perfect stay at Coco LaPalm! The price was a steal for the quality! I stayed in a Junior Deluxe Suite which had more room than I imagined and also a view that was out of this world! About 10 steps from the beach and impressed with everything I ate on the premises. Chef Willie on the beach grill made verything with love and the natives that walked up and down the beach selling fresh fruits was AMAZING! I’ been to Jamaica quite a few times but this had to be the best resort I stayed in so far! I had to write a review because I was SOOOO impressed with my stay there! As a matter of fact, I’ already planning my next stay! If going to Negril, Coco LaPalm is a MUST!!!

Hi Ferron,
Arrive back in Canada OK.
Was nice meeting you. Must say you have a smooth operation at CocoLapalm. GM, staff, gardens, beach simply AWESOME!
Wish I was still there.
I have stayed at several hotels including Sandals Whitehouse and Riu but your hotel has a Jamaican flavor second to none.
Thanks again Ferron, keep up the good work and I will be back for sure.

My husband and I just returned from Jamaica. We stayed at Coco La Palms July 11-July 19. It was our third stay in Jamaica and the 2nd stay at Coco La Palm. Our two children joined us this year for our family vacation. I just want to say that we had the most relaxing stay and spending time with our kids was the best. Our first stay three years ago was at an all inclusive, but last year we decided to stay at Coco La Palm largely due to friends Debra and Randy who we had met the first year. They recommended this resort and this place has turned out to be the best little heaven on earth! We love the small, quiet atmosphere, the wonderful staff, the incredible food, and the wonderful accomodations. We hope to return next year. The only bad thing is that we have to wait 11 months to come back. Thank you again. Your staff is the best! See you again next summer!

Staff very pleasant and patient. Great breakfast every morning and security at front and on beach can’ be better. Wife and I can’ wait to go back. Don’ hesitate if you considering cocolapalm for your resort choice. Layed back on the best beach with clear water.

Wayland, MI USA – 29 June 2010
We love this resort! We have traveled to Jamaica 8 times in the last 10 years. We have stayed at a different resort each time always looking for something a little better that fit our needs and style of relaxation. We have stayed there twice (2 of our 8 visits) in the last 3 months and without a doubt when we return to Jamaica we will stay at the CCLP again and again – and probably pretty soon. If you prefer a non all-inclusive resort that is quiet and small enough to be personal but still big enough for all the ammenitiies you need, this is the place! Michelle and Vernon at the bars are always there to greet you with a smile. The security is awesome! Being on a first name basis with the staff makes you feel at home. The beach is fantastic! Plenty of good sites to see within a short walk up and down seven mile beach. This is truly my wife and I’ paradise. We really relax!

Placerville, CA USA – 21 June 2010
Just returned on Sunday 6/13/10 from my best vacation, this was my 4th time staying at Coco. The personal attention from management and staff, the ambiance of the property, the tight security,the location on the beach, and the FOOD at Marley’ resturant is what keeps me coming back for more. This establishment provides the atmosphere of home away from home. CocoLaPalm ROCKS!!!! Thank you all for a wonderful time. See you in July.
Marcia H
Melbourne, Florida USA – 15 June 2010
We truly relaxed at Coco La Palm. I especially appreciated the security guard at the beach whose presence kept food and craft vendors from approaching while we were relaxing in the sun and shade on our beach lounges. Yet if we wanted to buy something from the locals walking up and down the beach, we could invite them to sell to us and that was allowed. A small craft market was just a few “” down the beach and they were not at all pushy like the larger markets. We would loved to have stayed a whole week and walk down the beach to a different restaurant each night. Who needs a car? I look forward to returning to CocoLaPalm, The inner courtyard garden is very beautiful and calming.

My husband and I have never been to Jamaica. We booked it through Expedia after reading 25 reviews. OMG, we had the best vacation ever. CocoLaPalm exceeded our expectations and your staff are wonderful, caring, and attentive. We loved the fact that you were located right on the beach and security was awesome. The Grill had great Pina Coladas and we had breakfast and dinner every night at Marley’. The seafood was a delight. Can’ wait to go back to CocoLaPalm in August 2010. So many activities, ocean so clear, people are so friendly and your establishment has so many ammenities. Thank you!

It was the first time my husband and I visited Jamaica for vacation. Negril is beatiful and CocoLaPalm exceeded our expectations. We loved the fact the hotel was located on 7 mile beach. The staff was friendly, courtious, and caring. The security guards are awesome! Great food at Marleys, the chef makes the best bannana bread and I loved the seafood. We will return. Thank you for a fantastic vacation…

North Haledon, New Jersey United States of America – 18 May 2010
My husband and I just returned from a wonderful stay at Coco. As we planned our trip, we made a last minute change to stay at Coco instead of another place and we’ so glad we did. It was everything we hoped for. Since this was our 3rd stay in Negril, we knew where we were headed and found that the reviews were right on the mark. The staff is awesome. From the moment we decided to request an upgrade we were treated with warmth and kindness and it continued throughout our stay. I’ sure this doesn’ happen often, but we really lucked out with our upgrade since we were given the best room on property… we were thrilled since we weren’ able to get here for our 25th anniv. so this was a real treat. Coco is clean, food is good and it’ convenient to other good restaurants, if that’ your thing. But the shining star is the staff – they truly make you feel welcome and protected.
Thank you all. We hope to be back sooner than later.

We just returned from our 6th CoCoLa Palm experience and it was just as relaxing and the people just as accommodating as always. ” you go, then you know” certainly refers to the Co Co for us. There were a couple of issues with our room; but the maintenance and housekeeping staff were on it immediately and resolved them quickly to our complete satisfaction. We are anticipating our next reach in October/November to be much the same. Thank you, CoCo staff for a wonderful 10 days!!!

This was our first trip to Jamaica, many thanks to our travel agent for booking CCLP! It was everything we had hoped- simple, not too big, clean , and friendly. We had a delicious breakfast on the beach every morning and yummy dirty bannas at the bar every afternoon. By day 2 everyone knew us. The hospitality and friendly staff made our 6 days the most relaxing vacation ever. We met wonderful people on the picture-perfect beach. 10 days at home at we are still smiling and dreaming Jamaican dreams. Next time we will bring all of our friends! Thank you CCLP.

OUr friends and us just returned from 10 days at the resort – our first trip to Jamaica. It was perfect and we can’ wait to go back. We are beach people first and that Seven Mile Beach can’ be beat and CocoLaPalms is right in the middle of it – relaxed, beautiful, friendly, fun, quiet, great food and drink, great staff and service. We read all the good comments online and hoped they were all true and guess what ? They were. We enjoyed Negril and the surrounding area – the YS Falls/Black River/Rum Factory tour was a great way to learn about the country. and we saw lots of crocodiles!!! We loved walking the beach in bare feet to fabulous restaurants all along the beach. We loved the colorful vendors on the beach who were very polite and always happy and friendly. The Fruit Lady with her basket of fruit on her head was so gracious each day and the fresh squeezed juices were the best – especially if you added the local rum. We loved the local Red Stripe Beer as well and the jerk chicken stand -” in theWest” across the street from the resort was awesome. We can’ wait to come back to CocoLaPalm next March. No Problem,Mon!

Thank you so much CocoLaPalm for providing my wife and I an excellent room and stay with a truly Jamacian experience. We had originally stayed 3 nights at the Riu Tropical Bay, but wanted to stay longer and get a feel of the true Jamaica. It was suggested by our airport transfer driver your property and we were extremely pleased. Not only was your resort more quiet and grounds more magnificant than the RIU’, the people were truly the best part of the experience. Thank you so much for the upgrade to the Honeymoon suite, it was at the very least to say, “”. We look forward to comming back in the near future. Eric W. Peoria, AZ

Our fifth year at CCL and we will be back again next year. It is by far the nicest resort on 7 mile beach, with the nicest people that work there. It is always nice to see some of the same people at the resort from year to year and visiting with new people too. Don’ change a thing and see you soon.

Fairmont, MN USA – 26 February 2010
I did a lot of research before deciding on coco lapalm. I must say that I was not disappointed in the least. Our 11 day stay at the resort was extremely accomodating. First of all, the staff is wonderful, everybody greeted you with a smile. The meals that we ate a CCLP were wonderful. My wife ordered up a romantic dinner on the beach with a five course dinner and a bottle of champagne. We also had our own personal waiter with white gloves and romantic music in the background. The meal was just fabulous, the ambiance with the sun setting was perfect, it certainly was romantic.
The staff at CCLP lived up to their reputation as being helpful and reliable. We had a family of 5 and I have to say we will be returning again. I can see why they are the best place to stay on the beach. The beach at CCLP is definately the best beach in Negril. Security keeps away all of the higglers unless you call them to you. If you want to have a great time in Jamaica, you should choose CCLP, you wont regret it.

Linzy S
Greensboro, NC USA – 16 February 2010
We just came home after 12 beautiful days at the CocoLaPalm and already booked again for next year. It’ the gem of the 7 mile beach in case anybody is thinking of going. There dedicated friendly staff goes out of there way to please everyone. The rooms are very clean, pools and hot tub are immaculate plus it serves the best breakfast on the beach as well as dinner. The shows are well worth attending but the beach say’ it all with pristine sand, clear blue warm ocean water and always a sand castle in progress. Where else can you eat an authentic Jamaican Chicken or fish Patty right on the beach or enjoy fresh caught lobster already cooked from the bicycle man. It doesn’ get any better than this folks if your looking for a relaxing, therapeutic vacation with guaranteed sun and warm weather in the middle of February. Visit once and your hooked for life..!!

Southport, NC USA – 7 February 2010
We did a lot of research before booking our vacation. CocoLaPalm had the best reviews. We thought it was too good to be true. However, it was ALL true. From the moment we got up in the morning til we got home late at night we had the BEST service from staff. We went during the off season and still felt safe and had a BLAST. Days that we didn’t get room service they left fresh towels and soap by our door. This is by far the best vacation we have ever been on. Thank you for such a great memory!

After a few years of not visiting CocoLaPalm my wife and I, along with another couple, returned to CocoLaPalm for a brief stay — Nov 8 to 12, 2009. As usual we had a great time. The place was as welcoming as ever. We liked the waterfalls at the entrance. It definitely put us in a relaxing mood. Ferron and his staff were gracious and accommodating. We look forward to retuning again and again.

We moved from another hotel to CocoLaPalm after another satisfied guest recommended your place while we stopped for a drink at your beach bar. Lucky for us he showed us the grounds and his room..we decided right then CocoLaPalm was for us! Stayed for 5 wonderful days and were sad to leave. We were so impressed by all the return guests we ran into.. as well as the facility itself. Thanks so much for your hard work, loved it all!

I just returned from a wonderful stay at Coco La Palm. Having stayed at 2 of the big name all inclusive resorts in Negril, Coco was a welcome change of pace. The resort was beautiful, the room was expansive and well maintained, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend Coco both for its economical value, and all around beauty.

My stay at Cocola Palm was great. Although it is not all-inclusive, it lacked nothing. The service and friendly smile of all employees made my stay a memorable one. I will be back soon to enjoy the beautiful beach and hospitality of Cocola Palm Resort. I would not change a single thing about the friendly place – Cocola Palm.

Stayed @ Coco July 9-15th and I LOVED IT! I was suppose to check out and spend 1/2 my time at a different hotel,but when I checked into the other place, was not up to Coco’ standards-checked out that same day, went right back to Coco La Palm. Fantastic staff, Awesome security, and beautiful grounds. I will be back! Kudos to Misha and to Derrick the Asst.Manager-Misha you are a sweetheart, and thank you Derrick, for you all your help.–Shonda,Theresa,Jazzy and LaShunda from CHicago

I had a wonderful vacation at Coco La Palm.The rooms were basic but comfortable. The staff were all polite and friendly.It was great having security at the beach to ward off any unwanted beach sellers.The Ackee and salt fish is a must have for breakfast.I highly recommend the Coco La Palm.

As I sit here at my first day back to work, I am very sad that I didn’ wake up at CLP to walk out to the beach. Though I work at the ocean….nothing compares to what you have there. This was my second trip to Jamaica and CLP…we waited 3 years to come back and I am booking my tickets for another trip within the next 6 months. I will never wait that long again! What an amazing place you have and the best employees ever. It is wonderful to see all the same faces again. It gets better every time we come back. Special thank you to our wonderful guys, Ricky and Chester, we love you! Also to Michelle, still the best bartender ever, Beverly whose smile can make anyone’ day better and O’ who is always a joy. See you soon ‘!

Palm Coast, Florida USA – 13 July 2009
Just returned from another wonderful week at Coco La Palm 6/28-7/4/09. The view of CLP beach & oceanview as you open the door or sit on your patio is wonderful. I spent lots of time just sitting on patio looking at beautiful blue sky & water listening to sounds of JA…
Few steps to CLP restaurant & we would have our delicious Continental breakfast most mornings. With fresh fruit plate or juice, a great filling start for your day. Tea or JA Coffee is also included but we didn’ need the caffeine. I get adrenaline high with the CLP view from restaurant…so serene. Donna, Kedora, Oneill, Conroy & Michelle are still excellent wait staff at CLP, I so love seeing same smiling faces as I return to my island home at CLP.
All the CLP staff are exceptional, we had 1 minor problem in our room & within 10 mins. maintenance was there & fixed the problem quickly.
The beach pool was completely redone & beautiful with irridescent tile palm tree & logo design embedded in bottom of pool. They completed the garden pool on Sunday & anxious to see it done on next trip. Another beautiful palm tree design with logo in pool will be so pretty glistening in the sunshine!
CLP is making lots of improvements, changing room colors to pastels & added a gazebo on property. As always, Coco La Palm reinvests in their property to keep it up to U.S. standards & in my opinion one of the best resorts on 7-mile beach.
Location,location,location! CLP has the perfect site & their beach has plenty of shade or sun, whatever you like. Steve will put your lounge chair where ever you like to sit, another attentive staff who aims to please the guests.
Hope to return for the Halloween repeat guests party, had a blast last year & hope to win some prizes this year!
Mi soon come back again & again!!!

Well I’ just spent a week at the Coco La Palm in Negril with a friend. This is my sixth trip to Jamaica, but my first staying in Negril. I normally stay in the large all inclusive hotels, but decided to do something different this year and I’ so glad I did. I was overwhelmed with the standard of service and attention to detail by the staff. We upgraded to a superior room (411), which was perfect for our stay, clean, spacious and comfortable.
I made some really good friends and would just like to thank a few members of staff for making my stay so pleasurable, William Vassell – General Manager, Rolston Blair – Restaurant Manager, Derrick – Asst Restaurant Manager, Conroy – Waiter, Howard – Security, Steve – Lifeguard and Carol – Housekeeping. You are all a real credit to the hotel and I look forward to spending another holiday with you.

What a wonderful place CocoLaPalm is. This past December was our 14th trip to paradise and we will continue to stay there in years to come. This past December, we invited our children and grandchildren to spend the Christmas holiday with us and also to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. This was the best ” Christmas” ever. The family was awed by everything that the resort has to offer, including water sports and tours and of course the Monday night entertainment and the delicious food and the non stop hospitality. They said they will surely return some time. Thanks again and again to the wonderful staff at CocoLaPalm. YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST.

Moose Lake, Minnesota USA – 30 May 2009
We vacationed at CocoLaPalm for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were there May 12th thru May 19th, 2009. We were very impressed with the staff, the food, the security guard, just everything! We were extremely happy with our stay. We wanted a vacation to just relax, lay on the beach in the sun or in the shade to read & people watch and we got it at Coco. I am a very picky eater but loved the food. I had rum and lime chicken, lemon chicken terragon, chicken & pasta, grilled chicken, fruity chicken in dry sherry and they were all delicious!! My husband had a bit more variety by enjoying the jerk chicken, the pork something, banana pancakes, etc. I had the continental breakfast almost every morning and it was filling. ( and delicious). The resort had entertainment on several nights. They also had manager appreciation night where they awarded staff of the month trophies plus free food and drinks for the guests along with entertainment. We really appreciated the security on the beach, not that anything happened, but it was just comforting knowing they were there. Sometimes people are concerned about the jamaicans selling things on the beach but it really wasn’ a problem, yes, they walk along and try to sell, but if you just politely say ” thank you” they move on. We did buy ice cream from the ice cream man on several occasions. It was very good and refreshing. We met alot of nice people while we were there. We would definitely recommend Coco. Now, I will say if you are looking for a posh, luxurious room this is not the place. But if you are looking for a nice and clean room to rest after a day at the beach then Coco is it.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It was relaxing. It was exactly what we wanted, small, quaint, close to the beach, did I already say relaxing?
Thanks for all the staff for a great stay!! We definitely hope we can return to CocoLaPalm Seaside Resort!!

My friends, and I stayed at, The Coco La Palm, from May 15-22. The staff made us feel so welcome. From the moment we arrived, till the day we left.
A driver named Sheldon, was extreemly important to us, because of his honest, his kindness, and his thoughtfulness, for our vacation could have been ruined. He returned a wallet we had left in his van 3 hours earlier. We hadn’ realized it was missing yet, when the front desk called our room. Because of the fact that these are such honest and caring people, I would not consider staying anywhere else, and if you are reading this…..neither, should you.
Have a great time, when you go, to CocoLaPalm Resort, in Negril, Jamaica.
Thank you,

My friend, Bill, and I just returned from a wonderful stay. I will never stay anywhere else in Negril. I fell in love with Coco La Palm!
We were very impressed with the cleanliness and upkeep of the grounds.
Your staff is exceptional. I would especially like to compliment the security gaurds. They paid attention to every movement on the beach. One security gaurd, Royan Forbes, really impressed us when he took the time to protect our towels and other possessions from a sudden rainstorm. We had been away from our chairs when the downpour came and he kept our things safe and dry.
I will recommend Coco to anyone who tells me they are going to Negril. I will be counting the days until I can return.
Thank You so much for the perfect vacation!
Sincerely, Sherry D

Sadly, we just returned from our stay in room 730. We had a wonderful stay there! The staff was absolutly exceptional! The security gaurds were top-notch, paying attention to every detail. One security gaurd, Royan, went beyond the call of duty when a sudden downpour of rain came while we were away from our chairs for a moment – he put our towels and other items away for safekeeping.
I can’ wait to get back to Negril and Coco La Palm. I would recommend Coco to anyone staying in Negril.

my boyfriend and i just got back yesterday after spending a week at the Coco and once again we are already trying to figure out when we can come back! a truly relaxing and wonderful vacation. we had dinner at marley’ a few nights and it was always FABULOUS! the jerk fettucini is TO DIE FOR! as always, staff was friendly and helpful. Chester was always checking on us on our way to the beach, and michelle made us DELICIOUS dirty bananas at the bar. although we tend to wander the beach in the past, this trip we stayed on the hotel beach quite a bit because it was everything we needed and more right there. we miss it already and look forward to our return. thank you CocoLaPalm for another memorable vacation! 🙂

My wife and I stayed at CLP in October 2009 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed in the Jnr. Suite that was recommeded by Karlene when we made our reservation. This was awesome. The room was a wonderful surprise for us, we never expected such love and attention and care that we received from everyone. Everyone on staff made us feel comfortable and at home which made us relax with ease. Special thanks to Kedora and Donna from the Restaurant, who made sure our breakfast was perfect. Juicey made me some strong home-made soursop juice….great. Carol made sure our room was clean at all times…big up! Special thanks to Karlene and Jackson from the front desk. Thanks a million for the Sweetsop Karlene…kiss the baby for us.
Our entire trip was great…the grounds nice and clean….the beach was awesome….jaccuzi and pools…no complain. The only sad thing is leaving. Coco La Palm delivers…the best in negril. See you soon guys.

After several trips to Negril my husband and I have decided to make Coco La Palm our ” vacation home” in years to come. Prime beach location, extensive well tended tropical gardens, comfortable well appointed rooms,great dining and play facilities and warm attentive staff. We would never go all inclusive in a ” tourist compound” again now that we have found Coco LaPalm. Highly recommend it!We plan to return year after year!

We have been home five days from our recent trip to Coco La Palm. This was a return trip to the Coco for us and we loved it. The staff is awesome, we loved our room #230, close to the pool and hot tub which we used everyday. We are shut in today due to the worst blizzard of the winter, 40 mile winds and 15 inches of snow. We would love to be on the beach right now. Thanks again Coco!! See you next year. Say Hi to Beverly the housekeeper from Cyndi in 230.

I just had the pleasure of celebrating my 50th Birthday Party at Coco LaPalm. It was our 6th stay at this resort. This is by far the best resort in Negril. We have been to Negril 17 times since 1995. Coco has the most wonderful staff in Negril. They made my 50th Birthday a very memorable one. Mr. Blair took care of the food, the band, the cake, and all the details. We had a group of 12 of us from home along with many of our good Jamaican friends. Coco has the best section of beach in Negril. Hazel, our maid was wonderful with all of our messes. Everyone at this resort are great caring people. Michelle, Donna, Clive, Hazel, Esna, Mr. Blair, and the list is too long to name everyone that contributes to making this the most awesome place to stay in Negril. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a beautiful, warm, and pristine atmosphere, without the feeling of being trapped at an all-inclusive. We will be back for stay number 18 this summer to Coco. I probably will never go anywhere else. This is the Place! Thank you to all the special people that helped make my trip a very special one to remember.

We appreciate your gracious hospitality and still find it amazing how so many of your staff members recognize us from one year to the next as they welcome us back with open arms and heart warming smiles. You have a B-E-A-UTIFUL country with beautiful people, a spectacular sunset every evening with a totally gorgeous beach (which we walk the majority of most every day), and to top it all off…. you have the most fabulous resort we’ ever stayed at!! We’ met several friends from various parts of the U.S. and tend to run into them at your resort every single year. It couldn’ be better. We are already looking forward to our annual trip next year and always plan on staying longer. Life is good…but life doesn’ get better then sun, rum and fun at Coco LaPalm! THANKU2EVERY1!

Each time I return to CCLP it is nice to see the familiar, welcoming, fun people that make up the staff. Each employee from Michelle at the beach bar, Richard out front, Beverly in housekeeping, to Shirley who we saw every morning at breakfast, add to the wonderful experience I have each visit to my favorite island! I can’ stop, I am hooked on this place and HIGHLY recommend it! Looking forward to my return trip. 🙂

WOW…Loved the Coco-Repeaters Party & my stay Oct 27th – Nov 3rd, 2008 in the poolside Room! What a fun CLP Halloween party we had and the owners Steve & Barb and family were a blast too…wonderful hosts to all !
Rain or shine the CLP Halloween party goes On and when the on & off again rain threatened to ruin our party…CLP quickly got a tent setup on the volleyball court so the rain did not ruin our Halloween Party 2008. It did prevent us from having roast pork grilled outside but the chefs made delicious pork in flavorful sauce that I enjoyed too (oven made). The CLP Jamaican buffet served was absolutely delicious! We had 2 soups, fresh salads, rice & peas, JA veggies (yummm), pasta with garlic, 3 entrees (pork, jerk chicken, fish) & desserts (macaroons, blue drawers, boconos) plus the free Open Bar all night. 1st the Jamaican singing group performed many local songs of long ago & they were so entertaining, we loved this performance. Later a local Jamaican band played Jamaican music, which got lots of guests up dancing including myself…a rare thing for me but I was enjoying myself so much that I had to move to the Reggae music as did most of the guests.
Costumes included Capt Hook (Steve), lusty wench (Barb), Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, Sand Witch, Dirty Banana, Twister Girl, Pirates, Muscle Man, Bearded Lady, Sisters of No Mercy (Ruth Ann & Kay), Priest (Ferron), CLP Duppies (ghosts Glenn & Theresa the winners) & more… Lots of guests got into all the weeks activities which included Bocce Coconut Ball, Ladder Golf (no real skill for these 2), morning trivia, Scavenger Hunt (FUN), Volleyball in ocean & sand, Sandcastle building which had to be done over & over due to afternoon or evening showers 3 days in a row. The CLP mgmt made sure all the guests & staff had fun all thru Halloween week by playing games & getting to know each other better.
CLP staff are like family to me & that’ just one of the reasons I keep returning to CLP. The sunsets, perfect location, good food, nice rooms, beautiful gardens always, 2 pools & my favorite…the Hot Tub hidden in CLP garden, all things that are part of the charm that keeps guests coming back again and again (forever & forever Duppies)…!!!
See you in 2009, mi soon come back to Coco !!!
Again & again… cause we can’t get enough of Coco La Palm !

Mi Lady and I spent 10 wonderful days for our 3rd time at CoCoLaPalm. This was our 8th trip to Negril. We just love the hospitality and the wonderful, caring people. The Repeaters festivities were a hit and the party on a rainy night was awesome. We really enjoyed the entertainment, the meal, and the drinks. I would recommend the Co Co to anyone who wants a beach setting with lots of amenities. We will return again. Soon come!

I would like to thank Conroy, Beverly,Esna, Ricky, Charlton, Donovan, Juicy, and Vernon for making my second trip at Coco just as memorable as the first. The Halloween party was very nice-Kudos to Roland. The music on the beach was a wonderful addition and you should consider having this all the time. Also, a special thanks to Clive for keeping my shaved ice drinks flowing throughout the day. As every one has said prior, the staff and the location, are two of the main reasons why I love Coco so much. I am a guest for life, and could not even imagine staying anywhere else. I will be back in Jan or Feb of 09. Tell all of my “” that I said hello, I will be coming back “” soon.

This was my first time ever out of the country since I was a kid and me and my friend who has been here many times Had a ridiculous amount of fun at the resort. I plan to come back with more people and do it all over again, It was a pleasure to meet all the staff there from front office to the grounds keepers everyone said hello and had a smile and good things to say. Leaving was hard on me and my friend but i’ already setting things in motion to come back. Thank you for the experiance.

Another great stay at CocoLaPalm! We visited from Oct 29-Nov 5 and will definitely be back in 2009. The staff at CLP are the best; they make you feel very welcomed and at home. Kudos for a job well done on the Halloween Party.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Coco from 10/17-10/26. Our large room was just a short walk from the beach down a walkway surrounded by lush gardens. The beach is perfect…Steve put out our beach chairs and table every day he was there, complete with beach towels. Complementary breakfast was very good, but somedays we just had to have the lucious banana pancakes. Ice cold Red Stripes, dirty bananas … Michelle and Vernon made the best dirty bananas. The water was just gorgous – shades of turquoise were the most beautiful I have ever seen. Kevin on the snorkeling boat took just the two of us snorkeling and it was just the best ever. Saw so many fish, and I have never seen so many starfish in one place ever. We were up really early every day to just enjoy a stressfree week…which we did. The showers that came up on a couple of afternoons did not even stop our fun. This was time for a nap, or yet another dirty banana. We both slept like babies, which is something we cannot do back in the USA. The one and only negative part about the Coco was having to leave and come back to the USA. I am still having Jamaican withdrawal. We will be back to Coco. Respect, Debbie and Lynn

Just returned from our third stay at CLP and each time is better than the last. It was our pleasure to be at the returning guest party. All the events and the Halloween party were lots of fun. Special thanks to Michelle, Andrew, Chester and Donna. If you’ looking for something other than a large all inclusive hotel in Negril, Coco is the cleanest, well run home away from home that you will ever find. Thanks for the memories and an excellent vacation. See you in the spring.

We had the pleasure to stay at Coco again from October 13 to November 3. We were joined the first week by 6 family members on their first trip to Negril. All raved about their experiences at Coco and about some of the employees they met while there! We had the pleasure of being there for the returning guests halloween party and found this to be especially enjoyable. We have always found our experiences at Coco special due to the friendliness of the staff and management. Our experiences during the three days of the returning guest events and halloween party were enriched by the participation of many of these staff members! From dragging us, willingly, onto the volleyball courts to dragging us up to dance, entertaining us with song and lively domino play as we were taught the game, decorating the halloween party shirts so beautifully, and too many other areas to list them all. You, the staff and management at Coco made this event special! Thank you Coco for again giving us a memorable stay. Thank you most of all to all the members of the Coco family for welcoming us and making us feel a part of you. A common theme heard in Jamaica is ” Home”. This is especially true at Coco La Palm!

I have stayed at the CocoLapalm every Dec for the past 4 years. I’ stayed there for the location, but most importantly the EXCELLENT staff service. It is so rare to find good all around service when being away from the comfort of home. The front desk staff are very courteous and helpful. The beach side grill staff are also great- some of the best grilled fish i’ ever had. I will continue to recommend Coco LaPalm to family, friends and Reggae Marathon participants traveling to Jamaica.

I can’ wait until next year when I go back; they just better make sure that they are ready for me lol.

It was the most relaxed atmosphere we have ever experienced. We are planning a return trip for next June with other family members. We are sure they will love it as much as we do.

Just got back from two glorious weeks at CocoLaPalm from August 3rd through 15th. Since we had met so many wonderful employees there the summer before it felt like we were coming home. We stayed in the same room as last year, #432, because when you open the front door you are looking at the restaurant on the left, the volleyball court in front, the grill on the right and the beautiful beach – great view!
CLP is a great, laid back resort which is exactly what we love about it. As some other guests have said in their reviews, it is not a real “” place but it is a wonderful place to relax.
And last but not least, we have to mention our good friends who work at CLP who go out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable – Mackay, Albert, Chester, Ricky, Arden, Carol, Marie, Esna & Carlene. We love yall and can’ wait to see yall next yea. Keep smiling – yall are the best!

Another awesome stay at Coco La Palm August 8-15th…my favorite Negril resort!
I had tried Punta Cana, D.R. for my last vacation & realized I had to return to CLP for a guaranteed great vacation & of course CLP delivered again. We planned our escape for August & Surprise! an email friend Kim was gonna be at CLP the same time. Kim, Marcus & Will were some of the fabulous guests that we met & partied with plus I had steered them to try CLP for their 1st trip to Negril. They fell in love with CLP staff, hotel & of course the awesome beach.
CLP staff will pamper you & try to fulfill your every whim…just ask them. Their maids are notorious for leaving flower or towel designs for guests, if you have a birthday, let the staff know & they can decorate your room or make the best birthday cake I have eaten. CLP staff tries to make sure all guests are happy. Kudos to Ferron (the manager) “” for having a staff that goes the extra mile for guests & retains a great staff. It’ like visiting family everytime I return with a warm welcoming smile from all the staff & everytime they see you too!
Since CLP always makes me smile, I have decided to return even sooner than my usual 3 visits a year…I will be celebrating the Halloween festivities at CLP.

Where do I start? This was my first time visisting Jamaica. My sister purchased the ticket as a 40th birthday present to me and as a 21st birthday present for her daughter. The three of us had never been on vacation together before and had an awesome time. I love CocoLaPalm. The resort is beautiful and the staff is unbelieable. I want to give a special shout out to Ms. Beverly, Nevell, Donovan, Juicey, Charlton, Timmy, Rick, Qwamae, Albert, Chive and Conroy. We have adopted them as our family and can’ wait to ” back home”. My sister and niece are returning in October and I am planning my next trip with my college girlfriends in May 2009. I can’ wait to see you guys. Thanks for everything.

Louisville, Kentucky USA – 28 July 2008
OK…I hope all my friends at Coco la Palm won’ be mad because I took over a month to send my comments. Let me start by saying that this resort, without question, provided me (and I believe my wife Katie also) with the best vacation I have ever been on. That includes several trips to Europe, several to Israel and numerous trips to Canada and the Carribean…including Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Martinique , Trinidad, Curacao , the Bahamas and Nassau. I mean it was the best. What made it the best is simply the relationships that I had with the people at Coco la Palm…I mean the staff, who made our stay there so terrific.
I’ like to name them, individually, so everyone knows exactly who I’ talking about, and how they helped make our stay there so wonderful.
I must start with the front desk. Kimesha and Timothy and Jackson and Sandra were always there for me every day for some fascinating and inciteful conversation. They all knew that I would be stopping by the office at least three or four times every day to chat. And I loved it! Let me say, at this point, that on this, my first visit to the island, I fell in love with all the people of Jamaica who I was privileged to meet.
Now let me skip through the other folks who impressed me.
Standing outside the office on my first morning at 7am was Richard. I asked him what he was doing out there so early , since I saw no other guests. He immediately gave me the ever-present Jamaican grin, and replied “‘ here in case one of the guests needs me.” And that, from Richard’ mouth, came the theme that I was to see at Coco la Palm throughout my entire week’ stay. Every person I met who worked there had my enjoyment of my stay as their primary concern.
Every day, we would be serenaded by the beautiful voice of our marvelous housekeeper, Erika.
I’ wander around the beautifully landscaped grounds and run into Charlton or Albert neatly trimming the hedges. When we’ sit down for our breakfast each morning, the smiling waitresses like Donna or Tosh would bring us out coffee.
In the afternoon, Michelle would make us a couple of delicious strawberry daiquiris. One afternoon, I had the pleasure of a tour of the newer wing of the Coco la Palm. personally given by the ever popular and charming Miss B.
Let me not forget the man who can arrange anything…from a ride to a restaurant to advice on where to walk, the always ready…Whitney. Of course, Patrick was always ready to take us wherever we had to go…like Rick’ Cafe or the delicious Juicy J’ Restaurant in Negri.
Then there was Charmaine at the delightful Jamaican American Jewelry and Art store on premises at the Coco la Palm. Let us not forget Chester or Junior who helped in a multitude of ways.
We found some other tasty eating spots….like the Sweet Spot and Cosmos thanks to some good advice from the folks at the place.
I could go on and on, but the folks who took such great care of us, at Coco la Palm…made our stay so good. We spent one day at a wedding over at the well-known and overpriced resort on the northern end of the Seven Mile Beach…and I would not have traded our stay at Coco la Palm for that place, if they gave it to us for free. Thank you Cooco la Palm…We will be back again…and we wouldn’ stay anyplace else!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at CocoLaPalm. We have traveled to Jamaica over 25 times and this was our first stay. It was just as described. Beautiful, relaxing, safe, wonderful staff, great rooms with plenty of amenities, nice pools, jacuzzi in good order and good food. The beach area at this location is nearly perfect. The guards are always present which is an added plus. The welcome party was great fun! Miss B, I believe she was the head of housekeeping, stole the show! Great lady with a lot of energy and personality. After many visits to many resorts, I truly can say that it was pure pleasure!! Thanks to everyone at the resort. Likkle more and soon come again.

Well we returned again and had an even better time. We really like CoCoLaPalm. Mr.Vassell and the staff are the best. The only draw back was the early morning construction banging…but on the positive side..was a great alarm clock. Peeked in to take a look at the new renovations and they’ really going to be nice and bigger. Otherwise all is good. The guys that set up things on the beach and security all good. We plan on returning in Dec08. We really love Jamaica. We’ vacation to many places and find that Jamaica is the most layed-back of all islands. We’ stayed at numerous resorts in Negril-Montego and Kingston..and find that CoCoLaPalm is top on the list of small personable resorts. Keep up the good work, see you soon. One Love!!! Respect!!

Just returned from Co Co for the first time. This place is truly a gem. The property and beach are beautiful and the staff is the greatest. We stayed in the queen junior suite which was plenty big enough for four ladies with lots of luggage. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck where we enjoyed the sunrise every morning.
The food is good & reasonable at Co Co but be sure to eat at Kuyaba (down the beach), Sweet Spice (downtown)and Rockhouse (on the cliffs).
Day trips–If you can tear yourself away from the beach, I recommend the tour of Mayfield Falls. It is much better than Dunns River Fall and less commercialized. The mineral spring water is clear enough to drink and the surroundings are amazing.
We will return to CoCo La Palm in Negril for years to come.

Just returning home from another great, relaxing trip to Negril (5th trip), made all the better by staying at CocoLaPalm (3rd time). My husband Fred and I have always been welcomed so warmly by the staff and also the friendly people of Negril. May is a little warmer and more humid than our usual November trip, but the afternoon short rainfalls are a nice break in the afternoon. The breakfast was a wonderful way to slowly begin the day and the beach is always maintained in a meticulous manner. Carol, our housekeeper seemed to know when to arrive and have a fresh clean room to return to in the afternoon. Vernon was a very considerate bartender and made happy hour from 5-7 each day, something to look forward to. Our travel friends, Tim and Ellie would agree he makes a mean banana/pineapple daiquiri. With travel from the US becoming a little more unpredictable in pricing and fees we were pleasantly surprised that it all went so smoothly. Love the new airport remodel at Montego Bay. Customs and Immigration there went alot more smoothly than in the past and had it all over Memphis on our return. Thank You all for providing a great place to vacation and always feel welcome. See You soon…Debbie Albert 5/22/08

We just got back from a seven night stay at CocoLaPalm. Using JUTA to get to Negril from Montego Bay (also the return trip) was convenient and fairly reasonable. We enjoyed our time in Negril and plan on staying at CocoLaPalm the next time we are in Jamaica! Their location on 7 mile beach is perfect! The grounds (more like a tropical garden) are wonderful and filled with all types of brightly colored and/or flowering plants plus fruit trees. Their swimming pools and beach were kept immaculate and they provided lounges, towels and ‘ floats’! The most difficult choice during our stay was which almond, palm or sea grape tree to sit under once we were done sunning. Thanks CocoLaPalm for our relaxing time in Negril!

Atlanta, Georgia USA – 14 May 2008
We loved our one week stay at the COCO La Palm. We will be back soon hopefully. The cleaning staff was excellent. They really cleaned our room up nice daily. We had one funny story from our stay. We thought the doors locked when you went outside and never bothered locking them until the last day of our stay. Our room was unlocked all week and we had no problems. Not many places you can say that about. My only tip for anyone traveling to the resort in the future would be to not use the telephones. The are VERY expensive and the charges add up quick even with telephone cards. Just use your cell phones.
We love Whitney the taxi driver for the resort he got us everywhere we needed to go quickly and even found the best exchange rate for our travelers checks. We loved everything about our stay. We will be back with visitors next time.

This was my first visit to Jamaica with my friend Debbie who has been 8 times (3 to Coco) and I can’ imagine staying anywhere else! The bartenders were great (Vernon, Lincoln, Michelle). The pool/beach attendants (Steve, Charlton) were the best! They always had “” chairs (with towels) ready on the beach in the morning. It was nice to wake up hearing Donovan singing in the gardens and seeing his big smile when you walk out the door. Everyday was a happy day in Jamaica mon!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I had a wonderful time at Coco for the fourth time. Kimesha was… as always fabulous and went above and beyond to ensure our visit was great. Oneill was a gem as always and Conroy & Ricki were fabulous too. We met a new staff person who was so pleasant and great, which was Esna (hope spelled her name correct).
Kristin & I always have a great time and the staff is always the best. Coco has the best breakfast on the beach. I live to come back every year just for the eggs alone.
I may see you all before next March. My girlfriend (Cynthia Stockdale)enjoyed her stay so much we’ trying to come right back in a few months no longer than six.
Warmest Regards, See You Soon

We were married Feb. 12th, 2008 at CocoLaPalm. The staff were very accomodating. We had a 18 guests for the wedding and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. A great location for the perfect destination wedding. Our family loved the resort and we were all first time guests. We will visit again and now we have an excuse to celebrate our wedding anniversary at CocoLaPalm.

A heartfelt thank you to the staff of Coco La Palm for making our daughter’ wedding day a dream come true! Every detail was cared for, the ceremony was lovely, the flowers were beautiful and the dinner was amazing! Special thanks to Miss Bea who knows EXACTLY how to plan the perfect wedding. (And she’ quite a good dancer according to my husband!)
This was our 10th time to Negril and third time to Coco La Palm. There were 19 family members and friends, from first timers to repeaters and EVERYONE had a great time.

Mr. Vassell
I stayed at your hotel 1/25 to 1/27 in rooms 236 and 232. I was traveling with a few friends and family.
I want you to know you have some exceptional employees, especially Mr. Ennis your Food and Beverage Manager and Dahlia who checked me out at the front desk. Mr. Ennis and Dahlia calm and patient manner was a great help to me when I had an issue with the service I received at the restaurant on the property.
The care they showed in keeping the guest happy along with their remarkable problem-solving abilities is rare indeed. If the quality of a companies employees is an indication of future success, then CocolaPalm has a very bright future. The next time I am in Negril staying at the CocolaPalm Resort will be at the top of my list of resorts.

We spent our 20th anniversary at Cocolapalm, the week of December 5th, 2007. This was our third trip to Jamaica, second to Negril, and first time at Cocolapalm. Cocolapalm has a great location and the widest stretch of beach in Negril, right in the middle of the open 7-mile Negril beach so you can walk the surf to either end. We had a wonderful oceanview room, clean, air-conditioned, even with cable TV (not really needed). The facilities, staff, and service were all great. Where else do you find a fresh hibiscus on your pillow after housekeeping? If you need something, just ask! My wife liked the reggae they were playing at the restaurant, and Mr. Ellis (who wasn’t there that morning) made a special trip back to get her a copy. The pool and Jacuzzi were nice, clean, cool, and inviting (though the beach was better). The rooms are connected with walks through a beautiful garden, tropical flowers, plants, and small trees. (The ackee trees were fruiting in December). We ate at the restaurant every day, really enjoyed the breakfasts (try the ackee and saltfish!), and especially the grilled snapper. We walked south to the town of Negril twice, and wandered the beach each night for the seafood dinners and live music. Cocolapalm had a really cool local acoustic group (the ” Sunshine Mento Band,” a banjo, two guitars, and big thumb piano the player sat on to play melody and percussion both). We’ already planning our next trip back, over Christmas next year.

Just returned from a week in paradise at Coco La Palm.
We started our trip with mechanical problems on plane so we arrived 3 hours late but everything was wonderful after that. Loved seeing CLP staff/friends & returning to this beautiful property. The gardens are always blooming & the new planting where the fence was, is really filling in & lush.
CLP does its best to keep the resort maintained but sometimes there are issues. This time the Hot Tub was not HOT since they are waiting for a new heater. Running the Hot Tub 24/7 makes them go thru lots of heater motors. This was a disappointment since I love to sit under the stars in the Hot Tub (not cold tub). Our phone was not working in room 733 but that was a blessing, we enjoyed not hearing a phone ring & they just sent staff to tell us if we had visitors. Overall we had an awesome time at CLP, as always. CLP food was still great & the staff very attentive. If you want special food not on the menu, just talk to your waiter or cook & he will prepare special items to your tastes. I love that CLP pampers their guests…
No worries, No Problem Mon!
Sadie & Kathy, I can’ find your email, please contact me so we can exchange pics etc. You meet so many wonderful guests at CLP & we enjoyed our Patio Parties. CLP is great for relaxation or make your own party…we did!
Mi soon com agin to CLP!

This hotel is brilliant. I arranged this vacation for my husband’s birthday. I contacted the hotel a few days before to have a bottle of champagne and a fruit platter to be ready in our room. It was arranged perfectly. We also got upgraded to a deluxe room. The hotel is clean and the staff is very helpful. Beautiful beach front resort. Very close to downtown and within walking distance to some great restaurants and nightlife. We did not want to come back, the locals make you feel so welcome. Great people, food, music and surroundings. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. Special thanks to Asia (front desk) Marlon (restaurant) for the reggae cd’s.

To William and all his excellent staff- Thank you for a very pleasant stay in January 2007.I would recommend Coco la Palm to any discerning tourist that wants the best of service by staff with a smile whilst lounging in a beautifully appointed rondel room or languishing on a golden sand beach bounded by warm, safe shallow waters.Without a doubt my favourite beach place in Jamaica. So sad my wife was unable to come too as its her favourite resting place also. Thanks for your superb service and will contact you again soon for more of the same

June 10-17th was another great time at CLP for 4 ladies from St Louis except for the showers.
Michelle had to have room 733, her favorite ocean front room but Ice & I were unsure which room we wanted.
Carlene in reservations was soooo right in recommending Room 532 for us. We loved the large rooms & having 2 separate bedrooms. Little different having toilet off the living room & shower off a bedroom but it was ok. Did not love the smaller shower in 532 especially since it was stopped up the day we arrived. After complaining to Ferron CLP mgr, shower was fixed 2nd day. I wish I could say the same for room 733, took 4 days to get Hot water heater replaced & working again & she did not want to switch rooms. Michelle was not happy but after Ferron understood the problem, he did get it fixed.
Other than the shower issues, our stay was awesome! Carlene had the chef make a delicious chocolate cake for Ice’s birthday & had it brought out at lunch time for us at Seaside Grill. Our maid did a really pretty flower display on Ice’s bed & spelled out Happy Birthday to her. Everyone at CLP helped make sure Ice’s birthday was memorable & very happy! The staff is always so accomodating whether they are new to CLP or been there for years. So good to return to see many same faces of JA friends at CLP.
Can’t say enough good things about all the staff, from Richard, Chester, Charlton, Donovan, Steve, Donna, Michelle, Beverly & so many more! They always smile & strive to make your stay the best at CLP.
I took some really good pics of wedding at CLP. If you would like me to email you the pics I took from room 733 patio, just email me & I will share them with you.
Great hotel & staff, met lots of nice guests & just LOVE CLP…Try it, you won’t be disappointed. CLP is a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens, new fountain in entrance, hot tub & 2 pools, good food at their restaurants too.
Mi cum soon again to CLP !!!

SUNDAY Sunday SUNDAY June 10th
That is when 4 STL ladies will arrive at my favorite Negril resort. It will be like coming home to see old friends/CLP staff & enjoy that awesome view from the Marley restaurant of 7-mile while eating warm coconut muffins, cinnamon rolls, toast with fresh tropical fruits and tea for me, JA coffee for the others.
My mouth is watering with anticipation for delicious meals at CLP as well as other favorites eateries like Norma’s, Margaritaville, Idle Awhile (next dr), Best in the West Jerk Hut (across the st), Kuyaba & 3 Dives up on the bluffs. So many delicious dining choices, why go A-I?
A-I guests miss the intimacy of staying at CLP…I love that the staff will know your name & greet you with a smile everytime…Yeah Mon that’s what it’s all about!
I am so excited, we splurged for Ice’s 55th b’day & got CLP Mike old room 532. I love all the rooms whether gardens or pool view BUT oceanview & walking right into the beach sand is amazing…magical as a friend of mine says! Yes CLP is a magical place & we are all sooooo looking forward to returning to Coco La Palm.
Just 3hrs from St Louis to MoBay & then little over hour later you arrive at CLP for a week of pampering, relaxation, fun, sun, sunsets, boating & swimming in the bluest waters in the Caribbean.
Mi Soon Cum…:-)

We just returned from 2 wonderful weeks! Our 5th visit to Coco and our first with all 4 of our kids: 11, 3 and twins 10 months. We can’t thank the staff enough for accommodating all of our needs as a family (and we had many!!!). You really made our trip wonderful. We will miss you all and hope to return with the twins in the fall. We certainly enjoyed seeing our old friends again (Donna, Carol, Donovan, ONeill, Tyrane) and meeting new ones (Richard and Marie, our amazing housekeeper) The kids are anxiously awaiting our return trip with next May. Big ups to Mrs. B for her help with lining up our babysitter and helping out with getting all the baby stains out of our laundry!! We’ll never stay anywhere else! Peace, love and Maximum Respect!

Absolutely a delightful place…we were there from 5/19 to 5/25/07…and the staff is nothing short of superb. We miss Richard (bartender extraordinaire) and Donna (Head Waitress who did it all!), along with cute Donovan and everyone else. The food was just great and the grounds are immaculate….the beach and location along 7 Mile Beach is perfect…you can’t ASK for a better place to stay in Jamaica!! Will be returning next year….love you guys!!

My family was at Coca LaPalm the week of April 7-14th, this was our first trip to Jamaica and we couldn’t have been more pleased. This was the best trip we have ever been on. Our kids are 15, 17 & 20 yrs old and all of them loved it! The weather was perfect, the resort was perfect, the staff was perfect, and my husband would say the Red Stripe was perfect too! We met so many awesome people and I think that CLP is the best resort on the beach. It is in the best location and the grounds are beautiful. I’m already trying to figure out if we can save enough money to come back next year…maybe every year!

This is long over due my sister and I was at the hotel last year summer and we had a wonderful time I only spent one day because I wanted to go to other resorts. I regret leaving Coco La Palm the other places were more expensive and were not half as nice. The staff was wonderful and even though I am a local they made me feel really good, something that you don’t really feel as a local going to resorts. Well Coco La Palm I will be there this summer and I am bringing six others and I have highly recommended your resort to everyone I know. Thank you.

Greetings All. We just came home after staying one glorious week @ CLP(3-29 to 4-5). We’ve been going home to Jamaica for 20 years but this was our 1st time staying @ CLP. We will most definitely return! CLP was all we’d hoped for and more! As always, one week wasn’t enough time but we have many wonderful memories to keep us warm until our next return(returned home to 26 degree temps! ugh!). All CLP services and staff interactions were fabulous beginning w/our arrival and carrying through to our departure. Check in was friendly and efficient and then Chester took us to our room so we could unpack and begin to enjoy… Yeah Mon! We had a 2nd floor junior suite overlooking the beach. Nice room w/great views. We also loved the spacious 2 person shower!!!! This vacation was all about relaxing and downtime for us so after a day spent one the beach, we’d have a few cocktails w/Richard (during happy hour), have dinner, and then we’d retreat to our room/balconey and sit out under the stars talking. However, there’s plenty to do/see w/many fun places to walk to if one so chooses. It’s all good… A special ‘shout out’ and our sincerest THANK YOU for exceptional service, fun, & engaging conversations go to Richard, Marlin, Michelle, Clive, ONeil, Ty, and Tony. The folks working for CLP are the ‘jewels’ of this resort while the lush and tropical foliage is the perfect setting. CLP being located on Negril’s 7 Mile Beach only adds to the allure of CLP. We had a wonderful stay and will highly recommend CocoLaPalm to friends and relatives!

This was my first visit to Jamaica. I was very impressed with the CoCo LaPalm Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. I felt safe with the security guards on the beach. I met some wonderful people and made a few friendships. Maybe next year we will run into each other again. Hello to Jeff & Beth, of WI Sharon & Jack, of MN and Miss Canada (Christine).
Thanks for a memorable vacation. I would like to thank Rocky for taking such good care of the beach and that big smile on his face made me smile. If asnyone is looking for something to do I would suggest the glass bottom boat ride and go snorkeling down by the coral reefs. If you can handle a horse you should go to The Rhodes Hall Plantation and do the horse back ride thru the mountains and along the beach. At the end you can even go swimming with the horses. So many things to do so pace yourself, or plan another vacation down there.

This was our first trip to Jamaica and we will be going back ASAP. We stayed at a fancy all-inclusive Grand Lido 1st for 3days with my husbands company and then transferred over to the Coco La Palm and was not disappointed. The staff there is very nice and polite to everyone. The gaurds make sure no one bothers you or approaches you unless you want them to. The locals walk up and down the beach selling things and just so you know you can get really good deals that way. The locals seem intimidating at first but once you get used to it you will be a pro quickly. The staff at the grill and bar are great. They will know you from year to year as I noticed. Dr. Rock at the night bar is also great. My husband and I had so many questions about the country and he was very patient with talking with us and has been to the US so he understands what it feels like to be in another country. This place grows on you the longer you stay. Very nice beach, clean grounds and some nice rooms. I would suggest a upgraded room but otherwise no complaints. Miss you guys already and can’t wait to come back!!

Happy New Year CoCo LaPalm Team!
On the first of the year I arrived at CoCo LaPalm very ill. My sister and I were guests at Negril Beach Club Condos where our unit was so moldy we had to check out. Unfortunately not in time to prevent me from contracting a severe case of bronchitis and asthma related distress.
Ms. Karlene Woolcock and her associates checked us in and treated me with great compassion and care. Ms. Woolcock gently implored housekeeping personnel to make certain my room was extra clean (516 even though it had just been cleaned) and my housekeeper Ms. Carol Henry (Smith) did a beautiful job throughout my stay!
I cannot say enough about Ms. Woolcock, Ms. Henry, Ron at the main bar, the pool staff and groundskeepers. CoCo LaPalm is beautifully appointed though not too lavish, scrupulously clean and a joy to stay at! We had a great experience property-wide.
My only concern was guests being allowed in the restaurants unclothed. For safety as well as aesthetic reasons, guests should be required to wear shoes, shirts and cover their bathing suits. While some people are politely discrete and modest, others “let it all hang out.” Body hair and genitalia should not be welcome at the breakfast, lunch or dinner table. You serve with glass, hot drinks and food and an accident involving bare feet or skin could be disasterous. So out of consideration for all guests why not allow the “barely clad” crowd to dine at the grill while allowing those of us who would rather not look at naked, hairy backsides, chests, billowing bosoms et cetera enjoy their meal too at the main restaurant.
Thank you,
‘Can’t wait to book again and have already recommended CCLP to several friends!

All I can say is WOW!!! My family and I had an AMAZING time at CCLP!! If you are wondering if this place is right for you, I can assure you it’s even better than you could ever expect. The staff is incredible, everyone is so accomodating. This group of employees makes sure that anything you need they can take care of, they really are a team. Friends of ours told us about CCLP (they’ve been about 5 or 6 times to CCLP) and I am forever grateful. I will most definitely return again and again. This place could be my second home. We just returned from our week’s vacation yesterday, I already miss everyone, Tony, Rocky (beach), Rocky (bar), Richard, Donna, Chester, Beverly (my new best friend), Carlene, Michelle, the list goes on and on. CCLP is so well taken care of, the grounds are so clean, the beach is extremely safe, the food is awesome, the dirty bananas are dangerously good, and again, the people are wonderful. I thank everyone at CCLP for the great time we had, I can’t wait to come back, only 50 weeks to go, and counting…

My friends call me Kristina La Palm when I am in Negril, they laugh when there is a debate as to where I am going to stay. I have been to Negril 25 times in 7 years and since Febuary 2002 I have been to Co Co La Palm 15 times. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me. I love the resort, the rooms are great, the beach is great, the staff is great. The noise level at night is great which is important to me. Some places on the beach and in the West End have alot of noise at night. The owner John is great, and The General Manager is also great without them the Resort would not be what it is. The hospitality is second to none, the security is great as well. I will be at The Resort from January 9th until the 30th unless I stay longer. Happy Holidays and God Bless

Nov 26-Dec 3rd I celebrated my birthday at CLP & the staff/guests made sure I had a great time. November 27th the Monday night Mgrs Cocktail Party became Kay’s 55th birthday bash & had so much fun!
Big THANKS to the fabulous CLP staff who pampered me, from the flowers in my room to Carlene singing to me at the party, it made such a special memory for me…not to mention how nice it was to celebrate in Negril JA! CLP staff have become friends & great to celebrate with JA friends & my St Louis friend ICE. If any of the guests have pics of the b’day girl Congo dancing that night, please email me a pic & put CLP or JA in subject line…Thanks!
I got some beautiful pics of a wedding that week also & will happily share with you, just email me. Only in JA would you see the wedding party males wearing hot pink vests that matched perfectly with the bridesmaids dresses. Just beautiful & loved sitting back to watch the whole event from my patio. CLP made sure this group had a wonderful event & even the rain didn’t stop them from enjoying their wedding!
I can’t say enough good things about CLP staff & property. Loved my ocean view room 521, flowers in gardens, lounging in hot tub under the stars at night, eating warm coconut muffins & cinnamon rolls each morning with my fresh fruit plate or Jerk Chicken at lunch. I could go on & on about CLP so I would recommend you try CLP for a great location on 7-mile centrally located with no loud bars next door but still close enough to walk to bars on beach or walk to other restaurants.
Once you go you know, CLP is awesome!

Just spent a great week at the COCO. Many thanks to all who make COCO such a great place and a home away from home; Donna, Kedora, Michelle, Lyndon, all the house keeping staff, Ms. B., Rocky, and Tony.
We’ll be returning in April for our 5th wedding anniversary, and we look forward to seeing our extended family then.
Mr. John – You’ve got the best resort and best staff in Negril.
Happy Holidays to everyone at COCO.

I just returned from Cocolapalm last week, and had the time of my life. I celebrated my 50th birthday there, and had the best birthday party ever! Thanks to all of you! Thanks Mike for your help with the plans. Carlene assisted with the room reservations and was so patient with all the changes that we made. She also took care of getting in touch with the band for me. She would drop what she was doing to help out with anything that we needed. Thanks! She put me in contact with Milton who I worked with for the food and beverages for the party. Thanks for your assistance with picking out the appropriate food & drink selections and the wonderful service from your staff! Thank you Roland for making that special birthday cake for me. It was the best cake I have ever tasted! I also want to thank Ms B. for her help in picking out the right cake, and for the great work by her housekeeping group. Beverly made the cutest and nicest birthday gift of swans on my bed for me on my birthday. I was so happy that tears rolled from my eyes. What a wonderful gift! Thanks Beverly! Also, thanks to all of the housekeepers for keeping my room so clean! A special thanks to all of you for the professional work that all of you have done for my party… Tasheka Statchwell, Donna Malcolm, Sharon Miller, Adrian James, Gerald Willie, Peter Marks, Tyrane Todd, O’neil Todd, Cleon Myers and anyone else I may have missed. The food was AWESOME!! You made my 50th birthday a day that I will never forget!!! Greg and the Dollyman band did a fabulous job playing for my party. They played nonstop and all of our requests.
I also want to extend my sincere thanks to all of my friends at Cocolapalm for making my vacation so memorable. Rocky, Richard (bar). Richard (bellman), Mikee, Chester, Michelle, Donovan, Shawn, Ricky (photos are great!), Anthony (thanks for that beachside service), Stevie and anyone else I may have missed!! Also, thanks to Capt Rondahl, for the snorkeling trip! We had a blast!!
Also I want to send out a special thanks to your security team (Dunn, Jackson, and others) at Cocolapalm. They were ALWAYS friendly and helpful and made sure I was safe at all times. Thanks guys!!!
It won’t be long before I return, and hope to see all of you then!
Thanks again!!

To our Coco family and our November repeater friends- we (the Indy Girls) unfortunately won’t be seeing you this November as planned. Too many life changing events to make it back this year. We’ll miss you all, and our favorite past-times there in paradise….like drinking Michelle’s “world famous” dirty bananas, having Rocky predict the weather for the day, and watching Mr. Mike and Rob hanging the Christmas lights!!!!
On a good note- I (the blondy)did meet my soul-mate on last years trip (my 12th JA trip, his 1st-and he happened to find Coco the first time around!!)”Youngblood”- you know who you are!!! So life is good (but getting colder here in Indy!) and we look forward to returning to our favorite place very soon!!!
Magical things happen in JA and at the Coco!!!!

52 days & counting until the girls return to CLP, my favorite Negril hotel…it’s not just a beautiful intimate resort with the same amenities that you get at big resorts…it’s like returning home to visit family or friends.
CLP has large hot tub & 2 pools (1 in gardens inside property & 1 above the CLP beach). Good restaurant with great wait staff & cooks. We look forward to seeing Michelle, Donna, Sean & Dr Rock…all the friendly staff that are most definitely CLP’s best asset. Oh the breakfast, makes my mouth water with anticipation of Chefs warm coconut muffins, cinnamon rolls & banana nut bread…Yummmy start with fresh fruit plate & JA coffee or tea.
Rocky & guys who handle the beach & gardens do an awesome job keeping CLP beach clean & set up your chair for you daily with a big smile always! No shortage of towels at CLP so don’t bother bringing your own. CLP gardens always are blooming & beautiful with variety of flora & fauna in winding pathways thru property. Such a charming hotel that I return again & again!!!
Mi Soon Come…:-)
Peace, Love & Respect to my CLP friends

Over the years I’ve traveled to many islands and there is no place like Negril, Jamaica and certainly no place like CocoLaPalm! CocoLaPalm is located in the center of Negrils famous 7 mile beach. This convenient location allows you to walk to different attractions. The town of Negril and Ricks are a short cab ride. Unfortunately cabs can be a little pricey! To me there is really no reason to leave CocoLaPalm. The grounds are immaculate and the security on the beach makes you feel very comfortable. The food is resonably priced and fabulous. Thanks to Roland the Executive Chef, who I must say is a wonderful person! Michelle at the beach bar always makes you smile and serves great drinks. The housekeeping staff are always friendly and keep the rooms very neat and clean. Obviously I love this place, and will be returning for the 3rd time this year to finish planning a party. If it were not for Carlene in reservations helping me make arrangements for 20 people I would have lost my mind. Carlene is a kind, caring and very special person. All of this would not be possible if it were not for the leadership of the General Mgr. William Vassell. Mr. Vassell is an extraordinary person who will go out of his way to help in any situation. I love this place and will never go anywhere else!

This was my second time at the CocoLaPalm and this was Nikki’s 3rd or 4th time. Once again, this resort provided an excellent service. The staff was so friendly and helpful! We loved it!
We met so many people who were so nice. I would love to name them all but that would be too many names. LOL
Thank you for providing another wonderful vacation experience! I look forward to staying at the CocoLaPalm again in the near future.

Great stay as usual at Coco! 2nd time here – 3rd in Negril and 4th time in Jamaica. I cannot say enough about the wonderful staff! We were part of the party of 13 and every staff member knew all of our names, what the kids liked, etc. On two different occasions had ice cream delivered to us (once by the pool other to our room) just because our 3 year old mentioned that she wanted ice cream. This is just one example of the wonderful service at Coco. We (and our kids)cannot wait to come back a 3rd time. Thanks so much and we hope to see you soon! Top notch stay!!! 🙂

I don’t know where to start!
My husband and I renewed our wedding vows after 10 years, at Coco Lapalm on July 10, 2006. We originally were married in Negril as well. It was so nice we did it twice!!!
I had guests that joined us fron all over the US. I can’t rave enough about the ceremony and reception that we held at COCO LAPALM. We certainly rocked the beach.
Miss B designed a bamboo ave, that looked awesome, for us to walk through! As well as had eveyting looking festive!
I can’t thank the staff enough! They made our dream come true!
COCO LAPLM staff definately keeps the guests coming back, as they pay attention to detail!!And are by far, the most respectful, kind and considerate staff. Mike and Ferron have to be proud of them!
My guests built new relationships with the staff, and can’t wait to return to see thier new friends!!
Keep up the great work, and will be seeing you soon!!

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary at Coco La Palm July 19-26, and had the most excellent time ever. The resort was even more perfect than when we were there 2 years ago. BIG thanks to CocoLaMike for helping us get the perfect room for our vacation. Also to Rocky….who works harder than anyone I have ever met, at making sure we were taken care of. To Marie….you are a gem, and I expect that you will be head of housekeeping real soon if you continue to take care of guests the way you took care of us. Frankly, the entire staff goes out of it’s way to pamper each guest, and that is why we will continue to stay at Coco La Palm when we visit Negril. We are already talking about bringing our kids on the next trip, so they can experience a little slice of paradise. Keep up the great work……we miss you all so much already! With VERY much respect…

Where do I begin? This was only my second time to the island and my first time staying at CocoLaPalm. And I am still upset that I am not in Jamaica anymore!!! I came for my uncle and aunts wedding(John and Allegra Estrada), and I had the best time of my life!! CocoLaPalm had everything to do with that!! I will never stay anywhere else in Jamaica, I will always return to CocoLaPalm. The staff was unbelievable! They went out of their way to make sure you were completely stress free and happy. Special thanks goes out to Ricky and Chester! Also Michelle who makes the best drinks in the entire world! Donna, Oneil, Orwin,Erika,Beverly,Rocky thanku for everything!! And for all the reamaining staff that I forgot-you are the best! These employees went beyond their job duties to satisfy us, and that is why I will never forget them or my stay at CocoLaPalm! I can’t wait to see u next year!

CoCoLaPalm was truly a dream come true..I had never been to Jamaica and when I visited the web site and read all of the comments I realized that this was it…I came to Negril and I would have to say that this resort had the nicest, cleanest, most relaxing and courteous staff..Everyone takes time to say hello..No need to ask because the staff and ready, willing and very much accomodating..Erica (housekeeping)was very kind to my teddy bear (who travels with me) and kept my room tip-top immaculate..Renee (front desk) always had a smile no matter how many times I came to the front desk to ask questions..Richard Lawrence always came outside and waited with me for cabs so I would not be alone out front..Sharlton and his side kick Reggie(grounds) were so pleasant..Oneil (server) very quick and always checking to make sure we had just what we needed..But in all EVERYONE there treated me like royalty and I hope I did the same for them…I have decided to come back every year to Negril and CCLP will always be my home away from home..Thank you so much and God Bless! “One Love” is truly what they offer!

Hi Gang:
It’s only a couple of weeks to our return to the CoCo. This will be our 5th trip to our favorite place on the island. This will be my 21st visit to Jamaica. We meant some of our best friends there four years ago and even though they live 800 miles away from us in the states, we see them often. This year, we are meeting them at Coco along with another couple that they introduced us to in their home town. Additionally, a couple from our neighborhood in Atlanta are coming as well. It should be one hell of a party.
We can’t wait to see so many of our friends on the staff who always make us feel so welcome. A special hello to Rocky, Michelle, Donna, and of course the famous Dr. Rock.
I’ll be the old guy under the tree with the beautiful girl in the sun June 24 to July 2……….No Problem and Cool Runnin’

ITIS..thank you so much. It was great meet so many new people that we hope to call friends for a long time. Mike, you made our vacation and we are already counting the days until we can do it all over again next year, count us in…Michelle, Shawn, Rocky you guys are the best and really took care of us. Almost to good, Tommy seems to not want to leave the couch and keeps shouting out for me to bring him more Rum drinks (Thanks a lot!) See you next year (who knows maybe sooner)

First of all Mike I would like to thank You personally. You definately went above and beyond. I have done nothing but try to talk people that i talk to into visiting CocoLaPalm it truly is the definition of an island paradise. Anyone that is considering Jamaica as a choice for vacation needs to stop reading this and go directly to resevations. This is the place to visit if you want the most out of your vacation. The beach is amazing,and the staff is even better. The food was fantastic and so are the resort grounds (props to the grounds keepers). Thank you itis and Larry the nightlife with you guys was fantastic as well. Mike and all of the staff THANK YOU and I can’t wait to see you next year. Oh yeah I really could use a ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigarette!!!

BIG UPS TO COCO, ITIS, AND MR. MIKE! IT WAS HOT, HOT, HOT at the COCOLAPALM!!
Yes, it was another great vacation at CocoLaPalm!!-Itis gave us a great reason to come back (like we needed one, but it sounded good), and I must say -itis and itis fans ROCK!! We met some great people, and hope to see everyone again. No one will ever think of the HOT, HOT, HOT song the same (inside joke among the itis fans)! A big thanks to Mr. Mike, who took care of everything, making sure the band was set up, and everyone was having a good time! Also, a big up goes out to the awesome staff that ALWAYS takes care of us. Rocky, Marie, Michelle, Shawn, Steve, Donna- you’re our favorites, but everyone is great!!
To anyone that is considering a stay here, DO IT!!! Coco has the best staff, beach, and rooms in all of Jamaica!

Thanks to Mike and everyone at the resort for making this the vacation of a lifetime. The staff at Cocolapalm are incredible. They did everything to make sure we were taken care of…and so that we had a worry free vacation. I didn’t get the privilege to meet every one of the staff, and I’m sure I’ll forget someone…but thanks to Maxine, Naxdia, Shawnette, Shawn, Michelle, Antoinette, Simone, Donovan, Tony, the ladies at the front desk, Whitney and Stanley (our cab drivers)…and of course to Mike!! See y’all next year!!

This was our 1st vacation ever and it was amazing!! Mike, thankyou so much for that you did for us. Our room was awesome. Maxine,you are the best. All of the staff was so nice. They made sure everyone was safe and taken care of.It was nice to know we had security 24 7,if we went off the beach, I only felt safe once we saw the lit up star. We are so use to our everday lives of go,go,go,that went we got there,it took a min. to realize, no problems mon. It took a bit to relax, we did and now we have to adjust to getting back to our everyday lives.Everything in Jamaica was awesome,the beautiful beach,with the prettiest sunset in the whole world, the ocean with the crystal clear blue waters, the everyday with no worrys, that was the best. Mike, I cant thank you enough for making it the vacation of our dreams, we will defintely be back, thankyou once again and also your staff they are the best. I know you know that but I just wanted to remind you once again. See you next year?

The staff was amazing and the rooms are beautiful. And for anyone who went with -Itis, see you next year! It will be Hot Hot Hot!

SPENT 3 MONTHS IN NEGRIL JAN – MARCH 2006 IT WAS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE ! AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY COCOLAPALM IS THE BEST RESORT ON THE BEACH AND THE BEST STAFF YOU WILL FIND ANY WHERE !! THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY AND MY SECOND HOME. I WILL KEEP GOING BACK !! AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR FUN THE DREAM GIRL (GLASS BOTTOM BOAT ) IS THE ONLY ONE TO GO. CAPTAIN RHONDAL IS THE BEST ON THE WHOLE BEACH. TRUST ME I WAS THERE 3 MONTHS AND LEARNED A LOT!!

My son and I just got back from CoCoLaPalm. My 4th time in Jamaica and my son’s 1st. We had such a wonderful stay and a great time in Jamaica. Made a few friends too! The vacation was like a dream in paradise. I love the beaches, there is no place like Jamaica. The people are such beautiful people inside & out, that’s what makes us keep coming back for more fun in the sun! I LOVE JAMAICA! Ya Mon!

CocoLaPalm. Negril. Jamaica. It is a destination that brings serious contemplation to consideration for a dramatic change in lifestyle. We arrived. Took off our shoes. Our burden was never more than shorts and a shirt because everything else was “No Problem Mon”! Although the destination is mind-boggling – In the middle of a 7-mile cove, crystal clear water, endless white sand beach and a comforting maze of gardens and pools leading to your room – It is the people, the Jamaicans, the respect, that really wins you over and makes you feel like a welcome guest in paradise. The one advantage we had over everyone else was the true nurturing qualities of the CocoLaPalm staff. Transition to a relaxed, unhurried, lifestyle is not easy for many of us Americans, maybe harder for those that are from Jersey, but they do it with traditional ease, infectious smiles and always with unabashed respect. Mike Mark, not only creates this atmosphere at CocoLaPalm but is a true advocate of all that is Jamaican and his selfless personal investment into the local community will provide countless, very personal, welcoming to establishments for all that you desire be it a nice dinner, red stripes, dancing, sailing or relaxing!
We miss our Jamaican lifestyle very much!
Respect.

Ms Beverly and Rocky were really, really great with our children. The place is beautiful, the food is great, staff excellent and the rooms are awesome. We will definitely be back next year!

Only, what, twenty-some days now until all of us -itis fans arrive? I can’t wait! It’s drivin’ me nuts! I’ve been packing, and repacking my bags since early January, ha-ha!
TO: Anyone thinking of booking a room here at CoCo La Palm… DO IT! This place is the best! I had the greatest time here last year. Incredible food and drink. Great Staff. Awesome beach area. All inclusive is NOT the way to go, in my book. This resort, and all of Negril for that matter, surpassed all of my expectations.
See you soon!

Sled and I stayed (with 3 other family members) Mar. 10th thru the 18th. The day we arrived, one of the rooms we had booked was upgraded to an ocean front suite (which was awesome and we plan to book again next year) we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect view from the time we opened our eyes in the morning to watching the sunset every night. The location of the resort is set on (we thought) the best part of the beach. The staff were extremely courteous, friendly and always smiling. Not to mention the friendly and helpful security guards, especially Evanrod Lawerance. It was a sad day when we packed and headed from a white sandy beach to a white blanket of snow. see you all next year, if not sooner. Thank you!!!!

Having spent 18 vacations in Negril, my first at Cocolapalm, it was terrible leaving 80+ degrees to come home to 13 below zero. We met many folks, mostly WI, MN and MI but some world travelers such as Matthew and his parents from Sweden & England. I’d love to add to the Photo Gallery, but camera was stolen so no pics. I’ve already reserved for two weeks next year and hope to bring some friends along also. Great beach, staff, etc. Hi to Rocky, Beverly, Nardia, oh heck, everyone. Pa and I will see you next year, God willing.

To anyone deciding where to stay in Negril, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the CocoLaPalm!! It was one of the best deals I found, so I was worried about the quality but it turned out to be the nicest resort I’ve stayed in! Clean, great staff, perfect location, beautiful water, comfortable beds, the list goes on and on. The staff makes sure you relax, no worries! Perfect place to “de-stress”… no worries! Hi to “T-Rex!!” We fell in love with you and miss you still, your conversation was great and you treated us so nicely. Thanks and see you again!

A salute to the CocoLaPalm for another “SUPER” vacation this year. We spent a great 10 days on our 3rd trip and will be booking our 4th for Feb 2007 soon. Michael and the staff couln’t be more attentive, positive and geared to our needs. As usual the beach was beautifully raked each morning and breakfast was excellent. The two pools and hot tub were spotless and a pleasure to relax in. We went to the new rebuilt Rick’s one nite and watched them dive out of tree’s at 100′ after buying Rick’s Tee shirt’s to wear around CT. Walked and ate downtown with NO problems at all. Your safer in Negril than most inner cities these days. Parasailing and snorkeling is a joy since all you do is tell your beach staff person to book you on the boat which is right off your beach. If your looking for a massage, there given right on the property and couln’t be better. All in all if your going to Negril and staying on the picturesque seven mile beach don’t overlook the CocoLaPalm. This resort has it all and I’ve never heard a complaint from the friends we’ve met. On our way home we did spend three days in the Charlotte Airport waiting for a flight to Hartford because of the blizzard but that’s a fluke. As I have my tea right out of a CocoLaPalm gift cup I’m ready to head back but unfornately have another 51 weeks to wait..Again-A salute to the CocoLaPalm for making our 2006 vacation a Win Win again this year…Bob Chunyk Somers CT

BIG Thanks to all the CLP staff for another fantastic stay Jan 19-26, 2006. We 3 ladies celebrated Michelle’s 35th birthday at the Monday Manager party, which became the Michelle Birthday party. Thanks Ferron…
Carlene made a touching speech from Michelle’s husband & presented her with rose & guests sang Happy Birthday to her. CLP brought out a birthday cake & she happily served it up to guests. Two little boys were so cute about asking for cake & thanking her for the Best Cake EVER! I gotta say, it was so moist & delicious that I agreed & ate 2 pieces. Michelle said “guess what, I do like being the center of attention”.
During the day several staff decorated our room with flower displays on bed with “Happy Birthday Michelle” spelled out. My bed had 2 towel Swans with red flowers in them & 2 bouquets of flowers too! There were flowers everywhere & the fragrance was awesome. She was really happy with all the attention CLP gave her to assure the best birthday ever for her.
We loved our large room & the semi private patio was where we spent most of our time. With the guards right there, we left our stereo outside on table & never had a problem. We had some great neighbor guests too, Hi to Christa, Hardy, NY Toni & Gary. We all partied together & was great fun for all! I never would have figured a German couple from IL. in their 70s would be so enjoyable to talk to & very tolerant of our music & partying.
The whole CLP crew is the best from front desk to kitchen to service staff. Kisses to Richard, Orin, Carlene, Mike, Ferron, Mrs B, Hazel, Beverly, Shawn, Rocky, Mikey, England, Sean, Michelle, Donna(s), Dr Rock, Chef Fletcher & Billy, Chef Brown & Everyone who pampers you & treats you like family. I love being a repeat guest & everyone knows your name & smiling says Hi.

We (3 ladies) booked another trip to CLP & reserved the Beach Front room for Jan 19-26, 2006… Awesome to walk off your patio right onto CLP beach sand! I’ve seen other guests getting massage on that patio overlooking beach/ocean & always wanted to do… guess what I’ll be getting, a JA massage in January. I can’t hardly wait to return to my favorite Negril resort.
CLP is charming, clean, friendly & honest staff with large rooms & bathroom & awesome views! I’m looking forward to the beach front room but I love the beautiful gardens inside the property around the pool & awesome Hot Tub too. I will be finishing my evenings looking at the many stars in JA sky in the CLP Hot Tub…it doesn’t get much better…sitting among the flowers/palm trees/bushes in the CLP Hot Tub listening to the tree frogs & JA creatures of the night (it’s open 24/7 except when it’s cleaned weekly).
Look forward to seeing CLP staff CLP Mike, Farron, Mikey, Leonard/Rocky, Sean, Beverly, Erika, Lanzie, Donna, Shawn, Ricardo, Chef Brown…and all the rest that I missed mentioning. Returning to see CLP staff is like coming to see family…another reason I return to CLP.
Tried other resorts from economy to pricey A-I, CLP has the best of both. Great location, wide beach with shade or sunshine with plenty of lounge chairs, staff to setup your chair for you, picnic/dine at CLP Grill/Bar on beach…love the jerk chicken with rice & peas, large rooms with all the amenities including a frig., great A/C or shutter/screen windows with good drapes to block out the sun/heat… really appreciate NOT seeing the sunshine too early after late night at whichever beach bar is hopping that night. Of course can’t forget Dr Rock, CLP bartender, he makes a great drink. My mouth is watering at thought of CLP Smile drink…sure makes me smile & relax & dance & enjoy my stay at CLP.
Mi Soon Come Again…:-)
If you haven’t tried CLP, try it you won’t be disappointed! Email me if you want me to give details…Love CLP !!!
It’s 5 Star in my book & sorry I’ll miss their fabulous Xmas light display this year…maybe next?

Hi:This is Bob Chunyk in Somers CT. If your heading to Negril there’s only one place to stay and that’s the CCLP. Were heading back for our third time this Feb 2nd for 10 days and that’s not even long enough. Super clean facilities, Great rooms, pristine beach area, friendly happy staff and great food right on the beach. It’s a Win Win hands down. When you return home from the CCLP it feels like you’ve had a relaxing, fun and beautiful experience all in one..Any questions-Please feel free to E-Mail me as I’m not on the payroll. I’m retired from the USAF, 60 and have been all over the world flying in C-130’s and C5-A’s. Believe me-Book at this place and ya can’t go wrong. Take Care Bob

We just spent 8 wonderful days at Coco. Anyone traveling to Negril must try this unique little resort. The most Immaculate and well-groomed pristine beach you will find. Wonderful management and friendly staff. This was our second trip to Coco and have already reserved rooms for February. We have been to Negril 12 times. We have tried the all-inclusives, but Coco frees us up to try all the wonderful restaurants.This year Kuyaba was our best dinner with the most enjoyable atmosphere. Anyone needing more information on Coco feel free to e-mail us. Donna and Michelle at the bar are very kind and exceptional staff members. All the employees seem to love their boss and love their jobs. Mike, as always, we were very happy with your wonderful accomodations. Keep up the great job!

Our adult sons Johnny and Kevin, Kevin’s present wife Jess, and another friend Derek,joined us. We had a great time living in suite A for 1 week. The resort is great, the staff, especially our housekeeper, Maxine, made it unforgettable. The two of us will be back 2/11/06…Ya mon

My boyfriend and I just returned from a fabulous week at CocoLaPalm. We originally were looking for an All-Inclusive and we are so glad we didn’t. The accomodations were great. The rooms were clean and the grounds were kept up so nice. The people all around the resort were always accomodating and very friendly.
The food at the restaurant and bar were also very good.
We can’t wait to return to Negril and CocoLaPalm!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay last week. Coco la Palm was just what the Dr. ordered for a couple overworked, stressed out women. Coco la Palm is so casual, easy-going, laid-back, we couldn’t help but unwind & relax. We enjoyed everything about the resort, from the staff to the beach to restaurant, bar & grill. Everyone was so friendly – staff and guests alike. Very easy to feel “at home!” The location was fabulous…catamarans, boats, etc. right “there,” great local restaurants & music. I enjoyed this so much more than all-inclusive because, as much as we enjoyed what was on property, we felt very free to explore other local activities, jerk centers, fish restuarants, etc. without feeling “confined” as you might on an all-inclusive plan.
What really knocked me out about the property was the smell of the flowers in the evening…something about that night air that just released the most wonderful scent!
I’m sure that no matter how much time we spent there, it would never be enough. I’m barely home, but already looking forward to returning SOON! See you then!

We spent ten days at the CoCo this year, again we had a hard time going home. The staff are all fantastic, I dont know that we ever saw Mike or Rocky stop working. We have recommended the CoCo to everyone we know. After walking up and down the beach we were reminded of how much better the beach, hotel and staff are at the CoCo compaired to the rest. Last year just the two of us came down, this year we traveled with my brother and sister in law, next year we will bring more. Thank you all so much for the efforts made to make the CoCo LaPalm the most relaxing and enjoyable place to vacation.

The housekeeping staff was top notch and so very friendly. The resort grounds were the prettiest we saw-the grounds keeping staff does an amazing job. Just wish something could be done about the constant offers of “smoke” every time we tried to walk on the beach…

We stayed at Coco from May17-24th. I had a few problems however the matters were handled. I would like to say thank you to John B. Vosika (Owner) and Mr. William Vassell (General Manager) for your time as well as your accommodations to my problem.
For those who are traveling to Jamaica for the first time, I must say that you will be very pleased. The beach is safe; the security guards are always there during the day when you are at the beach. They will tell the people who are trying to sell you things to leave you alone so that you may enjoy your time. If you are in need of a taxi simply ask the guard at the gate and he will take care of you.
Try to make it to the planned events that you will find an invitation to on your bed the day of the event.
The staff is very friendly. Get to breakfast before 10:30 at the Coco Restaurant (and else where also).
Do not be afraid to go places or try new things, if you don’t you will not get the true experience of Jamaica. Y.S. Falls was WONDERFUL and a great experience!!!!
Mr.Vassell…we will see you the end of December.

We went to Negril for the first time in Nov 04, we booked another hotel , However as soon as we set eyes on Co Co La Palm we just had to switch to there.
This hotel was wonderful, everything from the staff to the location to the rooms made our stay perfect.
Its set on a wonderful white sandy beach, right near everything but far enough away at night so that you dont hear loud music or noise.
The room was great and we paid a little more because we wanted a large balcony and double shower .
The staff were so friendly and Rockey on the beach had our chairs ready each morning in the same spot we liked, what a hard worker that man is !
All the staff in the beach bar were great and as for security, Co Co has possibly the best I have seen on my travels.
Finally the best memory I have is of the lighting system this hotel has, all the wonderful little fairy lights and displays that make this hotel so magical, it was like being in heaven for a week.
Thank you CO CO , WE SHALL BE RETURNING VERY SOON.

Hello all! This is truly a wonderful resort. We are currently booked to return for a week on September 14th, but just discovered my schedule would allow us to return the week of July 6th. I know what the weather websites say, but I’m wondering if anyone can give me some firsthand info on the differences in the weather between those two weeks/months. Don’t mind the daily rainshowers, but am more worried about my wife being able to take the heat. Any info would be appreciated. Hi, Beverly – hope you had a nice birthday this year!

I just returned from our wedding-moon at CocoLaPalm. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of the beauty of this place and what a wonderful time we all had. The forecast called for rain before we left, but all week we were blessed with perfect sunshine filled days, followed by spectacular sunsets each evening. COCO-MIKE made sure we had the most beautiful room (beachfront/poolside). The whole staff was wonderful. Rocky, keep that pool looking lovely, mon. Miss B, thanks for the babysitter when we needed her and thanks to all of housekeeping. Thanks to all the ladies at Joans salon for the emergency manicure and all the braids. Thanks Janet (at front desk) for your patience with my roup. Thanks to the security guard who sat down by the pool each night and watched over us. We had a group of 20 join us at Cocolapalm for our wedding, they all had standard rooms and they were all great.Thanks Mike for the catering the snacks on our catamaran the day of the wedding, everything was fresh and wonderful. None of my 20 guest had ever been to jamaica before this, infact they were scared, but once they got to Cocolapalm, they were in love, and will definately be repeat customers. I’ve been home 3 days now, and I miss Cocolapalm already, hope to be back soon.

It was so hard to leave the CocoLaPalm and beautiful Negril. We happen to stumble on it by accident when looking for a place on the internet and it was the best decision we could have made.
We have been to many vacation destinations in the last 14 years, cruises,Mexico, Virgin Islands etc…. We have done the all inclusive and found it very confining. Bigger isn’t always better. The quaint and friendly CocoLaPalm is the way of our future. We experienced the local flavor of Negril and had a great place to call home when we were done for the day. Mike and William have a management style that truly works and it shows!! Weather you are looking for the best spot to lay on the beach or the best boat for snorkling (Capt. Rondal), the staff will help you get what you want, with a smile and a “no problem” attitude. We will return ASAP. Thank you to everyone at the Coco.

We hope to visit again in the future. Now that we are back home and have returned to school and work, I find myself daydreaming about Jamaica and CocoLaPalm and missing the warmth of the sunshine and the beautiful people!

Dear Mr. Vassell,
I just wanted to thank you and your staff for making my stay at CocoLaPalm (16-19 March) so enjoyable. The grounds were beautiful and Negril was great. My boyfriend Nathan and I had a wonderful time at CocoLaPalm and hope to return in the future. My parents are from Clarendon, but it was Nathan’s first visit to Jamaica and thanks in part to your hotel, he loves it as much as I do.
Best Regards,
Petina Dixon

Wow! What can I say ~ I had the time of my life! Everyone that I was around was friendly and great to be with. Mike Mark was so great and always there when we needed him – thanks so much! Everyone at the resort was great as well. It was so nice to meet all of the people I did and hang out with the whole itis group. It was like one “big” family and I only hope we can all keep in touch. Thank you to everyone ~ and it was nice to meet all of you. I hope for a return visit soon! Have a good one to all. Jen ;0) Keep in touch.

Much Respect and thanks to Mike and the staff for making our -itis Jamaica tour so fabulous. All our fans and friends were blown away by the experience. I hope we can make this an annual event because more of our people need to know about this place. Keep some Rum punch on ice, I’ll be back for it soon.
One Love Mon!

Very, VERY much Respect to CoCoLaMike for letting me hang out there. Really an awesome place, and I had a great time. I didn’t actually stay there, but all 40 of my friends did, and Mike made me feel like part of the gang. Beautiful beach. Great Staff. Great menu. Awesome Rum Punch, and Dirty Bananna’s. Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks to Mike Mark for putting together the -itis party 2005! CocoLaPalm’s staff and resort was excellent. It was great meeting all the -itis fans. Thanks for making me feel welcome. I couldn’t have asked to meet a better group of people. Maybe see you soon at a future -itis show. Thanks for supporting my brother Craig and -itis. Can’t wait to return to CocoLaPalm!! Thanks Mike Mark for accomodating me (as well as everybody else).

I want to say hi to everyone I met that was there to see my brother Craig and -itis play last weekend. I had a helluva good time with everyone. You all were the nicest people I’ve met in a while. Craig’s lucky to have such great people around him…take good care of him for me will ya? haha.
The weekend exceeded all expectations. I can’t imagine a better time, or place, for such a good time!! And Mike Mark, you made it all possible! I really think it was because of your hard work that we all had a wonderful experience. I hope to see each and every one of you on the next -itis vacation mon! See you at in Jamaica at Coclapalm, Chris

I had the greatest time I can remember! The staff was incredible and made me feel like I was at home…but I was in Jamaica mon!! The food was great. Cocolapalm (and that area on the beach) was the friendliest place I have ever visited. I can’t wait to return…the sooner the better! Respect mon!!!

This was our second time at CocoLaPalm. As usual, the staff was excellent: always professional, cheerful & helpful.
I want to especially mention Mike – who got chairs, drinks, towels, etc. for us while we were on the beach. He was so polite and such a hard worker (raking fallen leaves in the heat).
The music at CocaLaPalm was great and we enjoyed watching the old rasta dancing!
Other nights, we would venture out to listen to music elsewhere. Advice for women NOT looking for romance while walking the beach would be to say: “I’m married. My husband is Jamaican, (look around) and he’s around here someplace.” Just saying you’re married or no thank you doesn’t seem to cut it, as the men can be quite persistant.
Once again, I’m glad we were at CocoLaPalm which offered relaxation and security. Thanks so much!

After spending many winter vacations, in all the popular Mexican resort cities, we decided to try Jamaica for the first time. We came with our friends Marc & Cheryl, who know the owners of CocoLaPalm. “Thanks” to Mike for arranging our room next to our friends.
We found our rooms, the hotel grounds in general, and the staff to be excellent. The staff, especially our housekeeper Marie, was very friendly and helpful. Many are longtime employees, since the hotel opened.
The weather, the beaches and some of the restaurants were great.
CocoLaPalm appeared to be one of the most well kept, clean and cordial hotels we found in this area of the 7 mile beach. We would recommend it highly.

OK, our turn to chime in. We “stumbled” on CLP by bidding on our one week stay at a Lion’s pancake breakfast. We were skeptical, thinking that nothing could be this great. Our week was much greater than we could have ever imagined. The magic started with our first hour at the resort and meeting Barb and Dennis (who end up being our neighbors back home that we have never met). They quickly adopted us “green horns” and showed us the ropes that they learned over the past 7? years. Then came Rick and Nancy, Donna and Harry, and Capt.Rondahl. We treated this as our second honeymoon, dancing was great (sorry for the amp, Mikey). We’ll be back if you’ll have us! (No more all-inclusive for us).

Dayton, MN – 16 March 2005
March 3rd. thru March 10th. was our week to kick back at the CocoLaPalm and we were totally satisfied and content with everything from the moment we checked in. We met great people everywhere we went so it would be unfair to attempt to list all those who had a pleasant impact on our stay. There are only super people through out this whole staff, and that’s a fact. We did not see one employee who wasn’t a true credit to his/her profession, and that’s amazing no matter where your travels take you.
Much of our time was spent meeting new people and finding interesting conversations every day we were there. There were these two crazy guys and their wives who live on some golf course in Minnesota. (You four know who you are) Two charming ladies from Nebraska who think what goes on in Jamaica won’t make it on the Internet. I can’t keep a straight face when I remember the fun it was meeting you two .
Thank you Mike for the great accommodations you provided, and also for sending the pics of the night with the band. Karen and I loved your central location on the beach and appreciated the relaxing atmosphere provided us during the strenuous spring break season. We so loved the many special handshakes, and “good byes” we were sent off with the morning we left, as that really meant a lot to us too.
This being our ninth trip to Jamaica we are thankful we experienced the CocoLaPalm. Hopefully we will do it at the Coco again some day.

Sorry about the previous comment, we are still trying to get Dennis to be computer literate! The trip was great (our 16 year and eight at Coco) and this was the best of them all. The resort is the best on the island and the staff is top notch (we don’t want to say much more about Mikey, his head is already too big. Dennis did comment that his golf game needs work though). The thing that made this year the best was the people we met. Every year we meet new and nice people and some that come back at the same time. But this year was magical. The weather was perfect and the people, food and boat rides were super. The boat, right outside of Coco, “The dream girl” is the boat to go on. We went into caves and saw lighthouses and fish through the glass bottom boat. Imagine, a glass bottom you can actually see through!!! Thanks, Rick and Nancy and Captain Rondal. Harry and Donna we will see you next year, same place same time. Dave and Paula we will see you at the Roger’s Muni!!! SEE YA SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our 10 days at CLP were the best ever! I now understand why so many people call it home away from home. The rooms, the grounds, the staff, everything, is top-notch. There’s just something special about this place! Our all-inclusive days are over, thanks to CLP. Special hugs to Beverly and Marie, and we look forward to seeing you next year. We had the good fortune of meeting some wonderful new friends from MN (despite the fact they’re Vikings fans!) and we’re meeting up with them again next year. Superbly done, Mike!!!! Warm regards.

We just spent February 25 – March 6 at CocoLaPalm with 2 other couples. It was our 12th trip to Negril.It was also my 46th birthday and our wedding anniversary during this same week. We had only ever stayed at the all inclusives in the past. Well, that has all come to an abrupt halt after spending 10 days at CocoLaPalm. We had an absolute ball! The accomodations were awesome! Clean as a pin, neatly groomed lawns, a lovely staff, and the most beautiful section of the beach you could ever imagine. We are already making arrangements to book for the same time next year. Michael was great. If he ever quits or retires, I will be first in line for his job. We can’t say enough good things about this resort. I promise that no one will be disappointed at this place. Prices are very reasonable and have have stayed everywhere in a lot of different places. NEGRIL IS #1 and so is Coco! Also anyone interested in booking snorkle trips, land trips, fishing trips, or any sort of activity in Jamaica, please get in touch with Philbert McKenzie. He owns the Sea Shell Glass Bottom Boat. We have been going with Phillip for 12 years, and he is the greatest. He cooked lobsters on the beach with us, took us to many reefs where the normal snorkle boats don’t take you. We learn so much and have the time of our life. He is a certified life guard and you know you are always safe. A very good Jamaican family to do off the resort adventures with. Contact me if anyone has an interest or would like more information. Thanks again Michael and everyone at Coco for making my vacation the best one ever!

I’ve been coming to Negril for the past 12 years to celebrate my birthday in the month of February. For the past 5 years we’ve stayed at CocoLaPalm and just recently returned from a 17 day visit, oh yeah mon’ 17 glorious days in paradise! To date, I have no plans on staying anywhere else in Negril but this wonderful resort. CocoLaPalm is the best kept secret in Negril! The Junior Suites are spacious and the grounds are well manicured. What makes Cocolapalm special is the staff— from the front desk, the beach staff, restaurant servers and chefs, housekeeping, gardeners, maintenance, gift shop, massage therapist, to the artists. Everyone is friendly and makes one’s stay special. Special thanks to the following:
Roland, Conroy, Donna, Michelle,O’Neal, Ericka, Esna, Lilly, Sandra, Rocky, Michael, Lloyd, Kenneth, Joan, Donovan, Miss B, Lyndon, Greg, Beverly, Marie, Richard, Shaun, Vickmore, Elrick, Sharlton and of course Michael Marks my February Birthday buddy!

Wow-Home only 17 days from the CocoLaPalm and we miss it already. Tonite we have 12″ of snow coming and can’t even watch the sunset in our favorite chairs while sipping a frosty Red Stripe..We’ve already made a pledge to stay even longer next year which will be our third year.. Nothing compares to CocoLaPalms clean manicured grounds, super friendly staff and excellent food. Sue and I have found a Win Win and plan on sticking to it. If anybody out there is trying to make a decision on where to stay-This is it..You snooze-You loose…Couln’t be better..I’ll vouch for the CocoLaPalm 100%.

It has been just over a month now and It is about time we thank you all at CCLP for another dependably wonderful vacation! You should ALL be very proud to be a part of such a well organized operation.
We often thought that the restaurants on the island had only 1 cook and 1 frying pan each; until we went back to CCLP. They never cease to amaze us on their quality and speedy service in their restaurant. If you value your vacation time like we do, we just eat there most of the time and take a gamble once in a while trying new places.However, be VERY patient as you will find that many other places just dont realize that Minnesotans like to be served in a reasonable amount of time. The quality of the food at CCLP is just like back home too.
Now lets talk about the staff: AWESOME. It is no wonder that some of the same people return year after year! This is truly a resort that deserves much praise. If only we had discovered it years ago. We cant wait to go back.

We arrived in Negril for the first time in Nov 04, We had booked into another hotel which was terrible, Once we set eyes on CO CO La Palm our holiday started! We booked in there and we were treated so well, The hotel itself is perfect the best I would say In Negril, the rooms ( we had one of the most expensive ones) were fab, the pool and hot tub were perfect and the lighting at night is heavenly.
The staff were so caring, I loved Rockey he so deserves employee of the month, I never had to tell him to put my chairs out, he did it as soon as he spotted us, and every day that man was so cheerful nothing was too much, hes a assett to CO CO, i bet hell be headhunted!!… Margart behind the grill, big chef and all the security team. The Security team really looked out for us, we often came back at 4am and those boys were on there feet and made sure we were safe. The food was lovely, would have like a little more choice for the dinner menu though. Apart from that we shall be returning and that will be very soon.

Anyone with questions about our Coco stay or other hot spots on the beach that we visited while there ….feel free to e-mail and ask…..there’s just too much to fit into this one quick e-mail and reality is calling me ….I have to get 5 kids ready for school , make a lunch for myself and get to work ……boy is this ever a far cry from the relaxing , “no worries” week last week !!!!!!!!!

One place north of Jimmy Buffets Marquaritaville. Tell George Daff and Eric recommended him! Stanli the Taxi Driver is the champ when it comes to recommending the best places to visit.

Wow! After 16 years of traveling to Beautiful Jamaica, and after four years at Cocolapalm, we thought we’d experienced the ultimate in leisure, fun, excitement, good food and good friends. But, our past stay of two weeks was beyond anything experienced at Cocolapalm ever. The staff just seems to get more like family ever year. The accommodations were above and beyond our wildest dreams, including the room, food, the cleaning staff, pool and beach staff, wait staff, and the concierge (you all know who we’re talking about), and we can’t thank you all enough. We’re looking forward to this year’s stay — or should we say being in our “home away from home!” We love you all and will see you again this year, same time as usual. Hope you’re all Irie mon….

Coco La Palm was sooooo beautiful for Christmas…the lights made it a magical fantasyland that you MUST see to truly appreciate! A CLP visit during the holidays can really put you in the spirit with all the lights! Personally I think celebrating in the warmth of Negril is the way to go for Xmas.
This trip I tried a different hotel & what a mistake! Never again will I go the cheap way since you get what you pay for…CLP is worth every penny & we will stay there next trip in April 2005.
This Dec. trip, I talked a friend from UK to stay @ CLP so we visited often to see her & CLP staff/friends. She was thrilled with CLP hotel, large rooms, xmas lights, etc. CLP hot tub works great & since there was a cold front (ha ha 70s) we all enjoyed the warm bubbles. My dilapidated hotel hot tub did not work & after inquiring… it has not worked for 2 mos. This kind of situation doesn’t happen at CLP.
Can’t say enough nice things about how the staff assures a wonderful stay at CLP. Like the fact that CLP staff always remembers your name & I look forward to seeing Farron, Mike, Ericka, Sean, Dr Rock, Shaun, Rocky & all the crew in April…
Try CLP you won’t be disappointed!

Respect! You said it! Had a Fantastic four days at Coco La Palm. Can hardly wait to get back! Mike and Rob, and the entire staff showed us the time of our lives, in an incrediably friendly, safe atmosphere. Seven miles of beautiful beach, sea and georgous sunsets, to walk, swim do whatever your heart desires. Totally clean enhanseing atmosphere. Great party time or you can just lay back and take it all in. Mike and the gang truly help you to have, the experience your looking for. Respect Mon! I highly suggest a massage from Joan while your on the beach. I chose Reflexology, not only once…twice! Thanks again to The Doctor, Michelle, Maria, Shawn and Shawn, Rob, well everyone and especially Mike! See you soon! Jamacia, respect! One love!Kristi

I knew it before, but it was confirmed again, that Coco is our home in Jamaica! This was our 4th trip to the Coco, and it was the best ever! Big up to Mr. Mike and the whole staff, especially Michelle and Rocky, who make us feel like family, but treat us like royalty! On this past trip, we stayed at Coco for 4 nights, then went down to Swept Away for a free 3 night stay. What a mistake!! We couldn’t get back to the Coco fast enough! The Coco is BY FAR better than all of the all-inclusives! All of the staff welcomed us back with open arms, like we’d never left. Actually, we were only away for 3 hours, we missed the Coco and our friends that much! And Mr. Mike even gave us another great room, when we checked back in. We’ll be back in ’05, twice!! The annual “INDY GIRLS” trip, and again in November! We can’t wait to be back!
Love and Respect,

I had a wonderful visit in Negril at CCLP during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was my 2nd stay at CCLP and 4th in Negril this year; and my best yet. I’m looking forward to another trip in the early spring and have no doubt where I’ll be staying. My thanks and sincere appreciation to the entire staff at CCLP.
And your Holiday lights are FANTASTIC!

Just a quick note to say thank you again to all the staff, especially Rocky, the housekeeping staff, Michelle and Kenneth (hey Kenneth, I am already craving your grilled chicken melt..mmmm)! We have went to several resorts in Negril and CoCoLaPalm was by far the best experience and will be coming back without a doubt. Thank you all again!

We too were at CCLP during hurricane Ivan and we can also tell you the same holds true for all of the positive feedback that was given over the past several weeks. This place was obviously built to withstand some of mother natures meanest handouts.We were never in doubt of the stability of this resorts ability to handle what we saw of Ivan.
As far as the service goes:
This was our first trip to Jamaica and when it was over, we (my wife and I), agreed that it was definately not our last. Despite the very poor weather, The remaining staff support was incredible to say the least. The amount of respect and attention we received during this trying time was more than just something to write about.We are often asked by our jesting friends about our trip during the Hurricane and we very PROUDLY explain how magnificent the staff at CCLP treated us before, during, and after this unfortunate event.While our framilies were at home enjoying their great weather,The remaining staff at this resort was devoted enough to care for us with the utmost respect during the hurricane.We know that this was not easy as they had families too.
We would like to personally thank each and every one of you that made this lifetime impression in our minds. This vacation was a learning experience that we will never forget. You people are truly manificant!
Now lets not forget the food; The quality was great! Everything was just like we ordered. The cooks even listen if you have a special need or request they will do anything they can to help you. The feeling you get here is better than any all-inclusive resort.
Is it safe Here: You bet it is! Every where we went ,we saw a smiling familiar face asking us if everything was o.k. Anytime we went to the beach there was a security guard within eyesight and they actually would acknowledge us just to let us know that we were really almost never alone.
Bottom Line: this resort is truly underrated. We sincerely believe that this is the most valuable resort that we have ever stayed at.We will never stay in Mexico again as long as COCOLAPALM is still around!
Thank you for the memories and we will see you in January!

We were actually at CocoLaPalm during Ivan. We were to fly out at 2:30 the Friday Ivan struck but the airports closed Thurs.night at 10:00.
Never having been anywhere near a tornado here in IN, you can imagine what thoughts were going through our minds.
The staff was GREAT!!!!! Every last one of the staff assured us that we would be fine as long as we stayed in our rooms. So right they were.
I even spoke with the General Manager after we realized we would be stuck there during Ivan. I asked if we needed to stock up on food and he told me they had plenty of non-perishable food should the need arise. They had a generator and water tanks on each building so that we were barely inconvenienced at any time.
Most of the staff left about noon or so on Fri. but before they did they called each room that was still occupied to give them a list of room #’s to call should we need anything.
They came to our room several times during the storm to bring us food, coffee, and even fresh towels! If we so much as stuck our head out the door it seemed that someone was right there asking if we were ok or if we needed anything.
We were NEVER afraid. Thanks to the most caring staff I have ever met.
And after Ivan. So many of the staff showed up to help clean up. It didn’t matter what their position was, their gender or age! SO SO SO many came right away and began to clean. The beach was cleaned up by Sun afternoon and they began working their way to the road.
On Monday the clean up continued, people on the roofs, raking the grounds, hauling away debris, cleaning up rooms that had some minor water damage. (Alot of the rooms had some water come in under the door just from the wind!) By the time we left on Wed. morning they were almost to the office with the grounds clean up.
I just can’t emphasize enough how great the staff was. We want to THANK them all for taking such good care of us. (((Elrick, Smokey, Shaun, Wesley, Randy, James, Donna, and a lady that didn’t have a name tag that I could find who reassured me the morning before.))) I’m sure there were others but these names come especially to mind.
When asked if we would return after such a trip, we assured them all, yes, but maybe not in September!!! I will tell you though, that whenever we are staying in Negril, CocoLaPalm will be our home away from home. If Ivan did anything, he cinched that!
CocoLaPalm is the BEST!!!! From staff to property to price. You never will want for anything while there even in unusual circumstances.

We were there last April and will be back this winter sometime. Absolutely loved it! Private, safe, and a wonderful staff. Our special thanks to Beverly (her birthday is the week of the 19th ;-), for sharing her enormous heart with us. My wife was recovering from cancer sugery, and Beverly’s warm smile, genuine concern, and beautiful flower/towel arrangements will stay with us forever. God bless them all during these storms.
To the other guests: We booked thru MLT last time and were happy with the price, but if anyone knows the cheapest place to book an air/hotel package to CocoLapalm, let us know. Does the Corporate office in Minnesota book packages? Thanks, Mark and Penny Vetter

We vacationed at the CLP from 8/12/04 to 8/15/04 and had a wonderful time. We will definitedly be back! The staff was friendly and helpful and made you feel very welcome in their country. The tropical grounds were beautiful and well kept even after Hurricane Charley the day before. Food was very good. The grill has great jerk chicken and sausage. The beach was white powdery sand and went for miles. Our room was nice, clean and big. The pools were situated nicely, one on the beach and one amongst the tropical splendor. Didn’t get to stay very long. Last minute get away. Plan to come back next summer for longer stay (Lord willing). Have been all over the tropics from ST Kitts to Tahiti and all in between and this is a great place!!!!Thanks to Esna, Janet, Renee, Sandra, England, Conroy, Beverly, Michelle, Calvin, James, and all the polite staff at CLP!!!

Thanks to all the staff who made my 2nd trip to CLP (this year) the best!
Mike the upgrade was fabulous & we reallllllly appreciated your help…no complaints after the switch in rooms! One thing most people don’t realize, CLP has large rooms…even bigger than new AI hotels! CLP property is well maintained & landscaping beautiful. Kudos to the groundsmen & beach crew for keeping property clean & beautiful. Lenard (beach staff) gladly setup 3 lounge chairs for us each day & made sure we had drinks if desired too!
Coral was our maid & she was good also…kept us stocked in towels (another problem with AI hotels-they run out) & kept our room very clean. She did a pretty display of swans filled with flowers on our beds & that was wonderful.
CLP’s Dr Rock is fun bartender although not many guests hang at CLP bar except during Mgr’s Cocktail Party Monday night. Monday was our 1st day & it was pouring so we didn’t make it to mgr’s party but heard the guests enjoying themselves from our room…despite the rain, CLP made sure the guests enjoyed themselves (as always).
I can’t say enough good things about CLP…I will be back along with my friends. Any questions about CLP or Negril, email me directly & I’ll happily answer your ?s for of my favorite Caribbean island destination…

Hi Everyone
Well, let me start by saying Conrad & O’Neil where is my sweet milk & brown sugar for my coffee? Also, where is the Clayton’s American pancake mix and Nikko’s heinz ketchup? Ha Ha. Just the fact that you guys made sure we had these simple items for our comfort we appreciate you more than words can say. You guys are the best. Elrick, your warm and sweet personality and the dinners that you recommended were absolutely fantastic. William, thank you for the personal attention. I hope you have started the plans for my 40th birthday party in December 2005 including an air condition game room for the children. The culinary expertise of the kitchen staff, you were extremely accommodating and the food was simply the best. To the man who made sure I had clean beach towels and a chair under the shade, much respect boss! The hospitality and the personal touch of the staff also including housekeeping and the front office will definately bring us back to Coco La Palm.
May God Bless You All.

We are back from our week stay at Coco La Palm, (July 15-22) but only physically. Mentally, we are still at your resort enjoying the pools, the beach, and the many beautiful people that work there. The entire staff worked so hard to make our stay the best that it could be. And they did this in a relaxed way that made us feel like part of their family. We travel often, and I can truly say that this was one of the absolute best vacations we ever have been on. We will not only recommend Coco La Palm to all our family and friends, but are also planning on getting back as soon as possible!! Special thanks to Joan, who gives the best oil body massage on the Island. To have this done right in the shade, by the beach is pure heaven. Mike…enjoyed the “VIP treatment”. We met so many guests there, but a special hello to Weit and Jo from Holland. Really classy people. Until we meet again…..Greg and Maria

Check out their demo at http://sales.inetcam.com. On this site it appears that you are using Inetcam software, is this correct? Or they just use up your bandwidth for there own advertising?

We just returned from 16 glorious days at CocoLaPalm. This was our 3rd trip in 2 years and our first one with the kids…our 8 year old daughter and 7 month old son. The first thing we thought about as we checked out was the dates of our trip back next year. The Coco staff is incredible…it is so nice to see the same friendly faces each time we come back and we thoroughly enjoy getting to know everybody better. We were so impressed with how helpful everyone was with our baby…and he was very sad to leave all his new Jamaican friends (as were we). We look forward to another great trip in 2005!

What made it the best was the friendly staff, housekeeping, security, and best of all the togetherness of the kitchen staff! I did not get to meet the guy in charge, but thats is a good thing…because we all know there is trouble when you have to get the boss in charge ha! ha! Anyway thats for making the trip wonderful to all the staff. I will tell all of the twin cities this is the place to stay at. Thanks

OMG!!! Coco La Palm is still as wonderful as it was in 1998. Glad I gave it another try & will happily return…forget the A-I hotels.
It’s a perfect location on 7-mile, great staff (Erika best maid ever), food great & generous portions, Dr Rock fun bartender, grounds are well maintained & flowers beautiful. Band we heard (old RIU guys) was great that played 2 nights, Jazz 1 evening & Reggae other evening with the blazing beach bonfire. So many extras at CLP that I thoroughly enjoyed like the Mgr’s cocktail party…Farron you have a great staff!
So when will their be CLP Hot Deal again? We have to return & others should try CLP also…it’s fabulous smaller property that you will feel safe & pampered!
Can’t wait to return to CLP!

What a surprise to see their smiling faces there and to feel once again the happiness we all experienced at their beautiful oceanside wedding. Our stay at Coco La Palm was a great experience from beginning to end and, in the afterglow of our son and new daughter’s wedding, I fear we forgot to say “THANK YOU!” Everyone associated with your resort treated us and ALL your guests royally and we can’t wait to return for another visit. Anyone considering planning a resort wedding would do well to give you strong consideration – you made it a very special day indeed! My purpose for browsing your website was to print information for a group trying to plan a visit this November. Not only are two couples my husband and I travel with interested in going along with us, I have also tweeked the serious interest of my chiropractor. So keep on doing all those good things you and your crew do there and look out – Minnesota is coming back!
Thanks from Bonnie & Neal Wickert (Matt & Jennifer Mott Muller wedding November 2002)

We’ve been back from our vacation to Jamaica for 4 weeks now. It was our second year there and our second year staying at Cocolapalm. I guess we had a good time cuz I cried AGAIN when we left!. No sooner did we get back and I’m checking air fare to get back there again. sighhhhhhh.. Mike, and all the staff at Cocolapalm, You are the greatest!.. I have to admidt, this year, while we were there, we did check out other places to stay, and well,, guess what… we wouldn’t even consider stayin any where else but Cocolapalm. You by far are the best hotel in the area. A true Minnesota “friendly” resort! Special thanks to Beverly our housekeeper, who took care of Len, when he hurt his leg. She checked in on him regularly and made sure he had extra pillows and ice for his leg!
and special thanks to all the security guys, Jackson… you gotta learn to eat cheeseburgers! haha. Take care, see you again next Feb! Sandy and Lenny Hurdt

Hi, again, Mike and Ferron ! As you well know, this was our 9th trip to CocoLaPalm and it certainly won’t be our last. You men and your staff seem to go way far out your way to make your guests feel at home. It’s so wonderful to be remembered and greeted by all of you like we’re family. It makes us feel like CocoLaPalm is our home away from home. The ladies that take care of our room for us (Marie and Beverly) are the greatest. Michelle and Kenny at the Grill Bar are so much fun. Elrich and Rockie, what a wonderful couple of guys they are. Chuck says that Joan gives the best messages he has ever had. Wesley (Willie), we sure enjoyed visiting with him at pool side. The girls at the front desk are marvelous as well, and Lotoya surely deserved the employee of the month award. The Monday evening welcome cocktail parties were great as usual and the Friday night party was fantastic and so much fun ( Great entertainment.) A special “hi” to Dr. Rock who calls me “wifefy” Don’t know where he came up with that and I’m sure I’m not the only one he calls that, but it sure makes me feel special. Your Christmas decorations this year were nothing less than awesome, even without Chuck’s help as in last year. It’s always great to see Rob, too, and will envy him when he returns to CocoLaPalm in March. WE WILL RETURN sometime in 2004. Our biggest hi and hugs and greatings to you and all of your staff. We wish you all well. Stay happy, healthy, and mostly WARM. Lovingly, Chuck and Nance Pace

We had a blast at Cocolapalm!
The staff was considerate, friendly, and accommodating, and Mike is a wonderful tour guide. We highly recommend CocoLaPalm to anyone heading to Negril. The beach bar, and the CocoLaPalm restaurant do not disappoint, and if you are feeling adventurous, you can head down the beach to the “Boat Bar”, or across the street to “Best in the West” jerk hut for some serious Jamaican flavors. Security is always present and personable, on the well-groomed beach. Rocky was very helpful in helping us find cold red stripe. The 2 pools and hot tub were clean and beautiful. CocoLaPalm made us feel very welcome in Jamaica, and we are already planning on returning next year. Thanks again to Mike, Rob & all of the Cocolapalm staff. Also…nice lighting job on the holiday lights to Mike & Rob both, especially the green star to guide us home to CocoLaPalm.
Thanks again, we think fondly of our Thanksgiving beach escape everyday! See you next year….

Rockville, MD USA – 3 December 2003
Thank you so much for for your wonderful hospitality! The CocoLaPalm surpassed my expectations. First, the room was large(even for a suite) and the shower was big enough to have a small party. Second, the food was very good. The lobster was excellent – tender but not cooked so long it was devoid of flavor. Mike, FYI, the lobster at CocoLaPalm is better than at the LTU. Third, the location is great. In the middle of everything, most in walking distance along the beach, yet it feels like you are on your own Caribbean island with a private staff. Actually it feels comfortable, like home. I think you and the staff take care of everyone enough to make them feel included without smothering. It was a very laid back, relaxing atmosphere. I will recommend it to my clients. Thank you again.

We were impressed by the staff’s attentiveness – Thanks Rocky for setting up four chairs and towels every morning. The Christmas lights are amazing. Everyone worked so hard to prepare for the lighting ceremony. Nice Job! See you again very soon.

Negril is truely a “Jewel in the Caribbean “.We were impressed by the friendliness of all staff members and the cleanliness of the resort. My husband and I are both “food lovers” and we dined royally on the Jamaican(Calleloo and Scott Bonnot Peppers-“not for the faint of heart”) and American cuisine. We look forward to future stays at Coco LaPalm with family and friends. Mike keep our room # 316, an Octagonal Jr Suite, ready for us. Thanks again to Mike, William and the rest of the “family members” for making our stay a memorable one.

I am a travel agent who just enjoyed the best experience of Negril, and that was staying at CocoLaPalm. The staff I must say are the friendliest I have ever meet in the Caribbean. My hat is off the Mike for being great to his staff. I experience ALL that the hotel had to offer from the sunset cruise to the end of the island with all you could drink, Ricks cafe with fine divers especially “Treeman”, and superb dining at LTU. I finaly found something that was to big for me. Check at the desk about LTU and find out what is was! We partied at night along the very safe beaches of Negril. Everything is in walking distance just follow the beats of the music and the pary is on. I want to thank Mike, Rob, John, William and the many others I made friends with for the best of CocoLaPalm. I can not wait to bring a group back.

For lunch the beach bar BLTs and fries are the best (thanks Kenneth and Michelle). What a grear, low-key, relaxed vacation all made possible by CocoLaPalm’s wonderful staff. I’m returning over Thanksgiving (minus the nephews) to see the lighting of the Christmas lights!! I can’t wait to be back.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
CoCoLaPalm was just the sort of place we were looking for. The atmosphere, the rooms and even the cost were just right for us. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon. If we are staying in the Negril area this will be where we stay.
I have to say, although the rooms and grounds are excellent…what makes CoCoLaPalm so different from other places we’ve stayed is the staff. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so friendly and helpful. We stayed at the Wyndham 3 years ago and 1 night this visit…we got bumped because of overbooking the flight… and the staff just isn’t the same. At the Wyndham, the staff doesn’t make eye contact unless you speak to them first. It’s not like that at the CoCoLaPalm.
I’m not going to name staff because I didn’t get everyone’s name and I don’t want to leave anyone out. ALL staff deserve to be patted on the back. The girls in the office, the bellmen, the groundskeepers, the housekeepers, the restaurant staff, we appreciate you so much for all you did to make us feel welcome.
The food is VERY good. We didn’t get anything we didn’t like and we ate there alot. We would have liked more Jamaican dishes on the menu to try but realize that not all tourists feel that way.
CoCoLapalm has something for everyone, from suites to stanard rooms, swimming pools to a beautiful beach. Please give CoCoLaPalm a try.

Our family had just stayed at CoCo La Palm from Aug. 15th to Sept.2nd 2003. This was our 5th return to the resort and it continues to be an excellent resort.

Our 3 daughters had an awesome time that they left “teary eye” and wanting to stay longer. I would like to start stating that “Rocky” was great! He is one cool guy, hard working and goes out of his way to ensure “everyone” is comfortable. To Rocky “PEACE MON “Elric… Melissa,Kristina and Kimberly were sorry they did not get to see you, but sends a big hug and many thanks. A special thanks and hugs to two ladies Marie and Beverly that made us feel like family and touched our hearts with their kindness.

Its a treat to be pampered. Michelle; awesome dirty bananas!..thanks for the recipe..wish me luck! But most of all thanks to the management team; Ferron and Ms. Beryl for continuing to maintain an excellent resort and having an excellent staff that makes a resort worth returning to. We have been in other resorts on the island and have travelled extensivley abroad, but because of the staff and the beauty of the resort this is the reason why we return and recommend it to people and bring friends.

Everything was perfectly beautiful and clean and the staff is the best; they managed to make us feel welcome while remaining professional in every way.
We could go on for hours about how much we loved our room and the food and the drinks and how beautiful the grounds are… and we will! We have found our home in Jamaica and we will be back…..ASAP!!!! We will tell everyone that it’s the place to be.

“Coco La Palm Truly Paradise”
My wife and I just recently stayed at Coco La Palm from July 19-26th 2003. This was our first vacation alone together since we’ve been married. We saw the advertisement on the Internet and as everyone knows what you see might not be what you get. Everything looked nice but we were still a bit nervous. When we arrived at the airport a driver from one-stop tours picked us up and took us to Coco la palm. He was very nice. He gave us some history of the towns that we were passing through on the way to the resort. When we arrived at Coco la palm, we could not believe our eyes. It was absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean, and the flowers were amazing. The staff were so nice and everyone was willing to go out of there way to make sure that everything was perfect for us. I would like to say much respect to Dr. Rock he mixes a mean coconut Rum & Pineapple juice. Much respect to our security guard Mr. James, all the BEAUTIFULL 🙂 women at the front desk and to Donavan, you do great woodwork.Unfortunately,we won’t be able to buy that land up in the country from Cheap Tony.I’m sure he will understand:) We were surprised to find that nothing was over priced. It was truly paradise. The food was great and the atmosphere was intoxicating. We had the time of our lives and we will definitely be back. Thanks for an unforgettable time Pam & Richard.
P.S.Doctor Rock
You are the finest bartender on the block.
You mix the drinks that kept us fed.
Just the right amount of pineapple juice and coconut rum.
To cause a spinning in our heads.
It was such a pleasure to have met you my friend.
So when we come back.
We can do it all over again.
Much respect to all.

I would like to thank all the staff at CocoLapalm for making my stay as well as my parents stay an enjoyable one. Everything was great – the view, my room, front desk reception, security, housekeeping and also the people who prepared our food. It was my mother’s first visit to Jamaica and it was a wonderful experience for her. I will definitely be back in December. Yeah Mon!

To the staff, management and people who I would now like to consider my friends (Dalton aka Mr. Baltimore, Maxine (who made our wish her command), Shawn, who took care of us for breakfast with a smile on his face and to the General Manager of Operations – Mike, I could not come back home and not give you all your props. You did a wonderful job. I have stayed at the Wyndham twice, Comfort Inn, the Negril Tree House (twice) and the T-Water Beach Resort. Let me just say that you all have a good thing going. It’s a relaxed, clean and friendly atmosphere that is not too stuffy. You can have a good time and feel safe as well.
I have to also give props to the Beach attendant with the dreads. The brother knows how to hustle. He was at everyone’s beck and call. His service and attention made me feel like he was glad to come to work and be there for us.
The brother at the grill cooking up that Jerk Chicken and making the jerk sauce—I tip my hat to him once again.
I don’t know what is going on behind the scenes there but you are certainly doing it right. I don’t have a single complaint about the CocoLaPalm.
Give Ms. Beryl, Maxine and the rest of the staff my regards please.
Much continued success. I’m looking forward to my 10th visit later this year. You can be sure it will be with you.

Our second stay in 8 months was even better than the first! The entire staff was as excellent as Michelle’s Lime Daquiris! And those were pretty darn good! I recommend Coco La Palm, unconditionally, for couples and families alike! Thanks to the entire staff and keep up the new “standard” of Negril beach. See you next year!

I wanted to send a note of Thanks for my most excellent vacation
while staying at the CoCo La Palm Resort. Your grounds are truly
unique and beautiful. Your staff has been exceptionally grouped –
from housekeeping, babysitting services, concierge, grounds keepers
to the awesome Restaurant and Bartending Staff.
An extra special thanks to Elrick, Shawn, Kenny, Donna, Michelle
and Leonard(Rocky). They each contributed an array of professional
and personal touches which helped make my first adventure to Jamaica
a wonderful memory.
In addition to that, each staff member offered an array of entertainment
information to myself and accompanying friends who also stayed at CoCo.
Our Safari Adventure, Y.S. Falls, Sunset Cruise, Soft white sandy beaches
were perfect for Moonlit walks and All-Day lounging that of which will be
remembered always. The activities available on the 7-mile beach were superb.
We will recommend staying at the CoCo La Palm to all of our friends when
visiting Negril.
I will look forward to my return,

After honyemooning at an all-inclusive resort in Negril last June, we decided to venture out and experience something different. A friend told us about Cocalapalm and we booked a weeks vacation in February 2003. Now, we are ready to book another trip to Cocoalpalm in a few months, but this time we will be staying for two weeks and we cannot wait.
Just as described, the grounds are gorgeous and the staff is amazing. The extra touch with the flowers on the pillows and towels was a wonderful surprise. Thanks to Michelle for making us feel so at home (yes, maker of the best rum punch and dirty banana) and sending us off with a smile as we started our travel home. Lewis, you are the best landscaper in all of Jamacia.
And, Mike thank you so much. It was so nice meeting you and you truely have a wonderful resort and staff. We were so well taken care of and are going to get our family and friends to join us in the future. We will see in November/December 2003 for 2 weeks. YA MON!!!

CocoLaPalm’s relaxed atmosphere and excellent staff made our vacation in Jamaica one of the best ever. The location on the beach allowed for easy exploring, and the privacy of our patio let us get away from it all. We have great memories of the friendly people who work at the resort, and that is one of the highlights of our trip. After wandering around Negril, I feel like CocoLaPalm is the best resort on the beach. You are taken care of when at the resort, and there are many great places within walking distance. Thanks to all of you at CocoLaPalm, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else on our next holiday in Jamaica!

My friend Stacy and I went there March 22-26, 2003. It was my first time in Negril and Stacy’s first time to Jamaica. We had such a wonderful time! We had a perfect beachfront room that in the morning; all we had to do is open our door and we could see the ocean! Everyone was so helpful and went out of their way to help with whatever they can. The rooms and grounds are kept up so clean; everyone has a smile on their face and a NO PROBLEM MON! attitude!!! I would definitly recommend the CoCo La Palm to everyone who is thinking about traveling to Jamaica. I know we will be staying at the CoCo La Palm again and again. Thanks again to everyone, we miss you already!!! A special Hello to Mike, William, Carlos and Howard!!!

The managers cocktail party was great, and the staff know how to laugh and have a good time. It was a breath of fresh air.
Thanks to Casandra for taking good care of me at the grill/bar during the day, thanks to the chef who made me all the jerk sausages too!. I also want tomention Lionel the Security Guard who was a super cool guy, as well as the other security guard, and Wesley the pool guy. Man, he keeps a perfect pool, and one HOT jacuzzi!.
Hope to come back to Coco on a yearly basis.
Take care, thanks for everything.

Mike,
KUDOS to you and your staff for the “excellent” service on my recent week’s stay at the Coco with my 2 friends Sally and Debby. We had a wonderful vacation with all our requests promptly handled in an outstandingly friendly manner. Leonard’s service in on the beach was superb! I felt truly pampered.
This was my first time to Negril, and I’ll definitely return to your resort. I must share this idyllic experience with my family. It was 2 degrees when we left Minnesota to arrive in your paradise. The Coco is beautiful, lush and peaceful. It was with reluctance I departed.
Thank you kindly, Mike, for taking such good care of us!
Warm regards,

Hey! Coco LaPalm Resort is a great place to spend Spring Break. I just returned home from Spring Break 2002 and am already thinking about my next trip. I had an out of control time that was inhanced by this, as did the twenty-seven other springbreakers I traveled with. We haven’t stopped talking about our trip for more then ten minutes straight. So if your looking for a georgous resort to crash at that includes an awesome booze cruise, nice rooms, a great beach front bar, easy access to the party scene, and excellent management then Coco LaPalm Beach Resort is the place to hit. Thanks again Coco LaPalm from Mount St. Mary’s College. Spring Break 2002!!!

Hello Everyone in beautiful Negril. It’s about 18 degrees here in Minnesota, and we just got about two inches of snow overnight. We wish we were there! This last vacation at Coco La Palm was Dana’s third and Brad has lost track at this point. And guess what, we’re coming back with the kids in December! After seeing how Coco La Palm caters to other “small guests” we’ve decided that there’s no reason they shouldn’t join us in paradise for our next visit. Mike, Ferron, John, Beverly, Michelle, Balton, Donna, Kenneth, Roland (and all the other staff) you’ve managed to make yet another vacation the best it could be. We thank you with all our hearts and can’t wait to see you soon!

Hi,
We didn’t know about your guestbook when we stayed last year. It was our first trip to Negril in 10 years andf our 32nd trip to the island. Does anyone remember the old Sundowner Hotel? We loved our stay last year, our Junior Suite was great, and any problems were fixed immediately. We are returning in March for our anniversary and really look forward to seeing everyone again. It is the perfect size and the employees are great. See you soon.

It’s always so much fun ro come back and have those beautiful people remember us from one year to the next. We’ll try our best to make another trip to CocoLaPalm this winter, but if not, we’ll see you for sure in February or March of 2003.A very Happy Easter to you and the staff.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother who is a doctor in Kingston, Jamaica, treated me to a four-day stay at Coco La Palm – Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 during my one 10-day stay in Jamaica. I cannot begin to put into words the wonderful time I had. All your staff, especially, sweet, capable, and efficient Patricia Johnson–who ranks among the top hospitality agents I’ve ever encountered, Mr. Dawes–best security, sales and promotion person (what a charming and pleasant man), and helpful and attentive Rocky. Of course, during our short stay we can say without a doubt that each and every one of your staff we encountered was top notch. We were sure they had shares in Coco La Palm. Coco La Plan Staff: efficient, courteous, caring, genuine, prompt, diligent, conscientious workers, HAPPY–are just a few adjectives that fittingly describe your outstanding and wonderful staff. This says a great deal about how the staff are treated as employees; we were beginning to believe they all had shares in (a vested interest) Coco La Palm. They are to be commended! They are the meaning of SERVICE!
The atmosphere, the setting, the beach, the rooms – all spectacular.
I had the best time, met wonderful people, and plan to return as soon as I can, and I really want to stay in “my” room 521 again.
These are troublesome and painful times . . . everyone is cautious and thinking of poignant world events. These events have an impact upon the economy universally. So here’s hoping lean times don’t last forever and that you have continued success and booming business again soon.
(My goodness, this has turned out to be a dissertation!)
Thanks again.

P.S. And, do you think someone could make a special effort to find and say “hi” to Frederick, “my rasta friend” on the beach who does the glass bottom boat tours. Thanks.

Just got back from a quick 3 day visit to Negril while staying at CocoLaPalm and we are already planning to go back as soon as possible. The resort made it the best 3 days of our trip. Although Jamaica is not getting good publicity right now, I would not hesitate to recommend Negril and the CocoLaPalm resort to anyone. Thanks again!

We are leaving tomorrow for our 4th year in a row at Coco La Palm. After reading these comments, I am even more excited. This hotel exemplifies the very best in customer service without compromising the natural beauty of the Negril Beach. The staff here deserve an award for their kindness and patience. We will be staying for two weeks. Hooray!

We spent four days at the Cocolapalm in June celebrating our 25th. It was our first time in the islands and we both feel we couldn’t have made a better choice. The staff and the accomodations were great. Neither of us wanted to do much sightseeing so I’m sure we missed a great deal – maybe next time. We wanted a romantic setting where we could sun, snorkle, get a taste of the culture, make a few new friends, walk the beach, get a massage, listen to music and taste the local foods, rum flavored beverages, and red stripes. In the end a wonderful time full of relaxation and and enjoying one another’s company. Mission accomplished. Thanks to all at this fine resort for helping to make it happen for us. We will be back!

I had the pleasure of staying at the CocoLaPalm in April. Although it was only for one night, I truly enjoyed my short stay. Everyone who works there is sooooo nice, and always pleasant, especially Omar at the front desk.
I thoroughly recommend the CocoLaPalm to all.
A word to the wise….take a midnight dip in the beach, and then run straight to the Jacuzzi.
IT’S HEAVEN!!!!

Its been six months since my October 2000 stay at Coco LaPalm and I’m checking the Hot Deals now to try and go again. Me and my family (mother, aunt, and brother) throughly enjoyed our first visit to Negril in Jamaica and we especially loved the Coco LaPalm Resort. The Junior Suite was excellent and the Superior room was really nice too. The resort’s location is perfect and the beach is THE BOMB!! It was really slow and few tourists in Negril in October and we often felt like we had our own private island at Coco LaPalm – what treasured memories. Hope to visit again REAL soon!

Dear Chris and Denise
Thank you so much for helping to make our twenty fifth anniversary sojourn in Jamaica such a memorable and relaxing experience during January 2001.It proved IMPOSSIBLE to get my wife to leave your hotel and continue our travel itinerary, so I had to keep coming in each day after our initial stay to add another days guesting.Your wonderful staff were highly amused to see this saga unfolding each morning-“has he managed to persuade her to leave today”.We would still be there now,if she had her way!
Having travelled throughout Jamaica to virtually every major hotel on the island during the last twenty odd years,I have to say that your resort takes some beating.The beach and gently sloping waters are superb.The gardens and pool areas are refreshing.The food and service is not only well presented,but it is a joy to see such kindly staff in operation in a beautiful country long sullied by surly service.From the front desk staff to the cleaners and even the chap who hands out the beach towels,all were helpful and smiling.
Perhaps the tourism board could be instructed by you as to your secret business acumen that creates such inspirational staff and spread this knowledge to other tourist establishments.
We were so relaxed, it was hard to get up and do anything when soaking up the Sun.If only the hotel had someone who waitered to you on the beach, I remarked to my wife.Lo and behold,the very next day you had a waiter waiting hand and foot on your beach lazers.Perfect!
For my part,not only will we be returning, but I would like to share my experiences at Coco La Palm with my customers.To this end,I will be offering one in fifty customers during the next year a free holiday in Jamaica.Please could you E-mail a suitable costing package including airport transfers as soon as possible, and if favourable,I look forward to giving you the just desserts of your work – more customers.
Regards

This was our second time we stayed at Coco and we stayed longer this time and we were so glad that we did. We had 7 nights of fun in the sun. The staff was great. Some of them even remembered us from last year. We would like to acknowledge the following workers at Coco on being friendly and going out of their way to make our stay (honeymoon) special and keeping everything in its place.
Stacey, Zito, Howard, Rocky, Sharon, Myra, Williams, Steve, Michele, please tell Beverly hello when she comes back from her leave. I know I must be leaving someone out…
We really enjoyed the Carnival… its great that everyone is in good spirits.
We ate at the grill and seaside both were excellent.
We hope to come back again.. thanks Colleen and George Butler

This was my first visit to Jamaica, and thanks to CocoLapalm I had a wonderful time. The food, the 7 mile beach front, the music on the beach at night, the parasailing, the glass bottom boats, the jungle adventures, enjoying the pools, and the hot tub, but mostly being treated so special was fantastic,this was the “best” trip I have ever taken.

WHAT A WONDERFUL HOTEL AND GREAT VACATION!!
We recently visited the CocoLaPalm the first week of March. My friend Jill finally talked me into going after she had been in Jamaica two years ago. We truly enjoyed ourselves. As soon as we got to the hotel, we were greeted with great enthusiasm by the staff and felt that they really wanted us to enjoy our stay.
The gardens were so beautiful and the staff was always there to help…even when we got lost trying to get back to our room. We also felt very safe with the fact that security was there 24/7.
We have told many people about the hotel and would recommend it to everyone. We met so many people there and many of them were fellow Minnesotans. We forgot to exchange phone numbers or
e-mail addresses with the people we met, but would enjoy hearing from them.
We are already planning our next trip to Jamaica and hope to make it back next year. Thanks for a great stress free vacation!

I would like to say hello to Wallace,Coke,Elliot and Rocky,
they provide a nice tie between the guests and your resort.
Remember once we got to our room we didn’t talk to the people at the front desk and the people at your bar/restaurants are
very busy. These people provided us with cultural info as well as where to go and what to do info. In this guestbook there are comments regarding Wallace and how much the people enjoyed him, I mentioned this to him when I was there in Feb he didn’t
know about the message. I suggest you share this info with them
as they are a great asset to your operation.

The gardens are beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We felt as though we were in our own little paradise while there and decided the 2nd day there that we would HAVE to return. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Always willing to answer any question, always making us feel at home. The room was clean and I loved the beach towel policy. Great idea. I don’t know when I’ve had so much fun on a vacation. We made some new friends also. Hello to all of you. The beach was so clean. I would like to thank John and Judy for their hospitality, it will be remembered for along time to come. Thanks again.

After years of staying at all-inclusive resorts all over the island (and becoming increasingly burned out on all of them), we believe we have found our new home away from home at Coco La Palm. The hotel is just beautiful, our jr. suite was superb in every aspect, the staff at the hotel are some of the nicest people we have ever met in all our years of traveling. Thank you for providing us with the most relaxing, stress relieving trip we’ve taken in quite awhile. Coco La Palm is a true hidden gem and we will most definitely return again!

There were about 50 people who traveled there for our wedding and a vacation. We were all satisfied!! The resort arranged everything for the wedding and did it with perfection!!
THANK YOU! I watched as the gardeners carefully cut all the beautiful flowers and put them where they needed to go! The pictures in the garden areas where outstanding! The minister was very spiritual and left us with alot of love in our hearts!
We can’t wait to go again and again to celebrate our anniversary! Our children were 18, 16 & 6 and they had a wonderful and safe vacation also! The employees really care for the children! What a great staff of people!!

The management and staff couldn’t be friendlier; our junior suite was ideal for us and our two children. We enjoyed the restaurant and the fresh fish offerings as well as lunch at the beach grill. The gardens and pool were beautifuly tended.
Thank you very much for a relaxing stay.

Dear Mr. Hartley,
My wife and I again stayed at CocoLaPalm during our weekend in Negril in February. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendliness of the staff and the beauty of the gardens. Becuase of the volunteer dentistry I do for the people of Jamaica your consideration in giving us a break on the room rate was really appreciated.
I worked hard in jamaica again this year, seeing patients five days a week for four weeks. My assigned work locations were in the government clinics at Falmouth, Catherine Hall, Cambridge and Sandy Bay. Each of my nearly 400 patients was teated with care and respect. The people were thankful to be releived of pain. I liked the local staff I worked with and always felt part of the team. It was a good month.
I solicited donations in my home city of Spokane, Washington and brought all my own supplies. Over the four years I have volunteered I have brought operatory lights valued at US$400 each. These are in use in clinics that would otherwise have no lights.
Hopefully Rotary International and the Montego Bay Rotary Club will sponsor me again neaxt year. We look forward to staying at CocoLaPalm. Our best wishes to you and thank you for your kindness.
Sincerly
